Advanced Layering with Composites

Restore simple and complex cases with more confidence, speed, and (why not) profitability.

The aim of this two-part course is to allow clinicians to reach the next level in understanding the colour phenomena within the tooth, including a comprehensive explanation of peculiarities in colour shift due to aging.

In Part I, Colour theory and the basic three dimensions, advanced concepts are presented in a simple, intuitive way. It’s easier than it sounds.

Part II will help clinicians understand difficult direct restorations, such as Class IVs and Class IIIs, in order to treat them more efficiently. The optical phenomena of light interaction between the margin of dental enamel and composite will be thoroughly explained, allowing clinicians to prevent and treat the dreaded glass effect among other problems usually faced in that region. In addition, an overview of secondary optical phenomena, such as opalescence and fluorescence and the importance they play in the esthetic zone, will be discussed.

By changing some small habits, and by looking at the natural dentition with a different, more professional point of view, this course will help clinicians solve both simple and complex cases with more confidence, speed, and (why not) profitability.
