Conservative Esthetic Solutions in the Young Adult Patient

The treatment of esthetics in the young adult patient present additional challenges related to conservation of tooth structure. The public’s expectations today are that we can recreate lost tooth structure and restore carious lesions through exceptional technical and artistic skill. This presentation will provide clinicians with the knowledge and skills to comfortably and predictably restore even the most extreme cases in young adults with materials and techniques that require little or no tooth preparation. Subjects discussed will include simplified shade selection, natural layering, Class IV composites, direct resin veneers, no prep porcelain veneers, posterior composites, and advanced aesthetics. Come discover new avenues to market your practice and attract an untapped cosmetic patient base.

 

Direct Resin Pearls for the General Practitioner –Exceptional Results With Predictable Techniques

Direct resin has become the restorative material of choice in both general and high-end esthetic practices.  The explosion of demand by patients for esthetic dental services has led to an array of new dental products and treatments for practitioners to choose from. Direct resin pearls and composite gems gleaned from across the globe will be shared with attendees.  Procedures discussed will include a wide range of direct resin uses, including both basic and advanced aesthetic restorative treatments, as well as marketing tips for attracting esthetic oriented patients.
