Resin composite restorations for deep caries and heavily broken-down posterior teeth

Fri 06 September 2024 9:00 AM - 4:45 PM

Resin composite restorations for deep caries and heavily broken-down posterior teeth

With a contemporary approach to deep caries management and an evidence-based approach to resin composite materials, adhesives and matrix systems - large direct restorations are achievable. Further, they can be a useful, conservative and durable alternative if indirect restorations are not viable.

At the conclusion of this session, you will:

• understand the current evidence base and the practical considerations for caries removal end points in the restorative management of deep carious lesions
• be confident in selecting and applying dental dam isolation to improve access and efficiency and to reduce stress
• understand current variations in enamel and dentine bonding systems and resin composite materials including flowables, injectables and bulk-fills, as well as their applications and limitations to avoid post-operative sensitivity and restorative failures
• implement various matrix systems and auxiliary methods to predictably rebuild contact points and anatomy in teeth with significant structural loss.

This online blended learning and hands-on pre-clinical session will proceed as follows:

1. Online web lectures via learning management system Canvas.
2. A short multiple choice questions (MCQ) to cement your knowledge on the lecture topics. An additional one hour of scientific CPD is awarded. 
3. Hands-on pre-clinical lab session. This session is only available to participants who have first completed the online blended learning lecture, MCQ.

Presented by Dr Michael Wylie.
