Comprehensive Esthetic Anterior and Posterior Restorations for the Pediatric and Teen Patient

Most pediatric dentists use composite resin on a daily basis in their practices. However, very little advanced training exists for our specialty in the placement of these restorations. This course is designed to offer comprehensive, prescriptive, instruction on how to confidently place esthetic, long- lasting restorations in both the anterior and posterior for primary and permanent teeth. Special attention will be given to the treatment of teenage and young adult patients.

Participants will be introduced to new concepts in engineering-based preparation design, enhanced magnification, anatomically accurate matrices, biofilm removal, and the use of headed composite. The use of AI based caries detection and treatment of “white-spot” lesions will be demonstrated. Live demonstration of anterior and posterior restorations will be performed on typodonts.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand how the trifecta of enhanced magnification, biofilm removal and injection molding of heated
composite can result in superior anterior and posterior composite restorations for pediatric and adolescent
patients
2.Achieve confidence in matrix, wedge and separator selection for modern compression-based Class II
restorations. See how anatomical anterior matrices can greatly improve your restorative care
3.Learn modern preparation designs for anterior and posterior restorations based on current engineering
principles
4.See how AI caries detection and early WSL treatment can minimize the need for traditional restorations
5.Live demonstration of anterior and posterior restorations will be performed on typodonts
