Description
With many patients being unable to afford traditional indirect onlays and crowns, this two-day intensive hands-on workshop was designed to train clinicians the techniques of creating beautiful anterior and posterior direct composite onlays. The course has been designed to provide the clinician with a deep understanding of the entire restorative process, from materials science and adhesion to the placement and adjustment of the finest composite onlay restorations possible. Function (Dynamic Occlusion) plays as important as shade matching and contours in the challenging esthetic zone of direct composite restorations. The new and experienced practitioners will find something valuable in this intensive course.
