3 hours theory online + 8 hours hands-on on phantom heads
Dentists face daily challenges with free-hand restorations, as patients often request same-day treatments for chipped, worn, or decayed teeth, as well as for closing diastemas in post-orthodontic restorations. They seek fast yet reliable dental solutions.
This one-day course is designed for any dentist who performs direct anterior composite restorations.
The course includes an online lecture (provided by Dr. Agne on the “Teachable” platform) and a hands-on session. The lecture covers essential dental anatomical landmarks for composite restorations, the properties of composite resin, effective use of rubber dam systems, principles of free-hand direct anterior restorations, and simplified protocols for preparation, layering, finishing, and polishing to achieve seamless margins. The hands-on session involves restoring central and lateral incisors (small and large Class III, small Class IV, diastema closure) using the „Connect the Dots“ concept to replicate the natural tooth shape.
This course will help dentists tackle everyday challenges in anterior restorations, ensuring durability and excellent aesthetics.
