Achieving Predictable and Natural Looking Direct Restorations
Patients are now seeking long-lasting, "social media approved" aesthetically pleasing, economical, and "forever-lasting" restorations. On top of that, the dental visit must be quick, comfortable, and conservative. Dentists have the monumental task of fulfilling such demands. However, with a broader understanding of aesthetic analysis, restorative workflow, and modern materials, achieving an acceptable and predictable outcome is not so difficult. This comprehensive session discusses some of the factors involved in achieving a natural-looking and long-lasting restoration in daily practice, in a practical matter. Lecture Objectives • Discuss the method of shade taking of teeth • Preparation prior to restorative procedures • Basic aesthetic understanding/requirements to achieve natural-looking and long-lasting restorations • Review of new generation materials available
