Online Dental Continuing Education

This hands-on online course will introduce and discuss the use of composite resins for addressing anterior esthetic challenges through a direct-indirect approach, in which restorations are directly sculpted and indirectly bonded. The technique congregates the artistry and the layering concepts of direct composites with the advantages of indirect protocols. The benefits of the technique include high-quality margins and optimized control of form and final colour with luting resins, in addition to being a cost-effective alternative to porcelain veneers. During this Hands Online Live program, participants will perform each step of this technique through to completion, with live demonstrations by the instructor. Dr. Fahl will answer questions from participants throughout this fast pace interactive course.

This in-your-office, hands-on exercise will teach you to build up peg laterals and large Class III restorations. Direct resin composites are a very important part of any dental practice nowadays. These restorations provide patients with minimally invasive restorations that preserve tooth structure while providing esthetics, longevity and function. The participants will be guided step-by-step through shade selection, tooth preparation, bonding, matrix adaptation, creating proximal contacts, layering, contouring and polishing to conservatively, predictably and successfully build up peg laterals and large Class III preparations utilizing direct resin composite.

Treating a single central is one of the most difficult procedures that a dentist has to do. Even more difficult is the discoloured central due to endodontics, trauma, or tetracycline staining. This hands-on course will teach you how to use opaquers to raise the value of the tooth, without creating too bright of a tooth. You will also learn the use of tints to create incisal translucency. These techniques can be incorporated immediately into your practice for profitability.

Matching the colour, opacity, translucency of adjacent teeth when presented with a Class IV fracture is common and a challenge for most dentists. Every tooth is unique, with varying degrees of characterization in the form of opacity, translucency, incisal edge colour as well as enamel effects such as white spots or craze lines. When composite is the restorative material of choice, most Class IV cases require a layering placement technique. To mimic true enamel properties as well as dentin opacity, each material used must exhibit specific properties and be placed with meticulous care to insure a natural esthetic result can be achieved. The use of a lingual matrix to replace the lingual shelf followed by precise placement of dentin, incisal and enamel shades can yield consistent and accurate results. In this course, Dr. Margeas will review many Class IV cases then perform each step of his technique, live via an interactive webinar format. Participants will then perform Dr Margeas’ Class IV case simultaneously in the comfort of their own office, LIVE.

This 2-hour live hands-on course will teach you the principals of how to treat a midline diastema without the use of wedges or a matrix system. The step-by-step approach will teach you the pull through technique that will allow a perfect contact and contour without overhangs. This no preparation approach will simplify your life and help you create natural-looking restorations without removing tooth structure.

This online course provides the participants with many priceless pearls to predictably shape and polish anterior composite restorations to the level that they can rival the beauty of the most esthetic porcelain restorations every single time.Dr. Chan will discuss and demonstrate in detail the predictable techniques to develop the primary, secondary, tertiary tooth anatomy in composite restorations for any tooth shape imaginable utilizing a few simple tools and seamlessly polish those restorations within a few minutes.

Through this hands-on Webinar participants will experience a predictable step-by-step procedure to master the perfect class II restoration. Participants will be guided through each step of the process to create life-like, beautiful class II restorations in an efficient manner.

This two-hour hands-on Live interactive course will introduce participants to techniques and materials that will streamline the Class V restoration. Particular attention will be paid to preparation design, bonding protocols, placement techniques and polishing. This will be accomplished using both lecture format and live demonstration.
