10 Solutions for 10 Everyday Problems & Achieving Miraculous Solutions with Modern Matrices

Friday, June 2, 2017, "10 Solutions for 10 Everyday Problems", This lecture will present creative solutions to the frustrations encountered by clinicians everyday. Dr. David Clark’s modern approach to restorative dentistry showcases minimally invasive techniques for solving clinical impediments without compromising outcomes and aesthetics.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: • Managing deep caries and pulp capping science • The 6 keys to solid contacts • Endodontic and post & core update • 24 hour bleaching technique for dark endodontically treated teeth • Impression taking for new minimally invasive veneers and onlays • Endodontic instrument and technique update: simpler and safer endodontics • Better than porcelain? Achieving void free and mirror smooth composites • GP ortho update: Should you be doing orthodontics? Which system should you use? • The 10 gadgets you can’t live without in everyday practice.

BENEFITS OF ATTENDING THIS COURSE: Each participant will learn how to increase productivity, while improving their clinical success with an understanding of the most up to date techniques and methods. WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Any dentist and/or staff member who desire more information on current concepts.

Saturday, June 3, 2017 (Dentists Only) "Achieving Miraculous Solutions with Modern Matrices", MORNING WORKSHOP: Direct Composites: Minimally Traumatic Preparations and Restorative Protocols Workshop Participants will have the opportunity to perform minimally traumatic preparations and direct Class II composite restorations utilizing modern matrices and flowable and paste composites. Participants may re-think the role of resins in their practice after seeing the possibilities in this renaissance of direct composites.

AFTERNOON WORKSHOP: Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention of Cracked Teeth Teeth are fracturing today in record numbers. Cracked and fractured teeth are now the third leading cause of tooth loss in industrialized nations. Dentistry’s last great mystery, fracturing, is a poorly understood process. Advanced Diagnosis and Proactive Restorative Protocols: Seeing previously invisible clues can lead restorative dentists to more appropriate early treatment of compromised teeth before devastating fractures, pulpal involvement and periodontal breakdown occur. Interactive case presentations will answer the age-old questions: • What does this crack mean? • Can I splint a cracked tooth with composite? • When should I do endodontics, when do I extract? • What is the optimal design? • What is the optimal composite and porcelain material? Hands-on Portion: Composite and porcelain occlusal onlays to splint a cracked tooth.

AT THE END OF THIS COURSE PARTICIPANTS WILL: • Achieve clinical proficiency in both diastema closure techniques and restoratively-driven papilla regeneration utilizing direct composites. • Understand and achieve confidence with minimally traumatic Class I and Class II composite preparations, including the Clark Class II. • Understand C-Factor, composite chemistry, and receive an update in dentin and composite bonding options. • Understand the strengths and weaknesses of flowable and paste composites. • Receive a blueprint for the incorporation of flowable composite in all different types of composite preparations.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This course is designed for the General Practitioner. *Register Early-Limited space available for hands-on course.
