Hands On Live Event – Introduction to Biomimetic Direct & Indirect Restorations Workshop
The advancements in adhesive materials & techniques the past 30-years have enabled clinicians to restore severely broken-down teeth back to their natural strength & function (Biomimetics).
These proven & established adhesive techniques now provide clinicians with the ability to create more natural (Biomimetic) Emergence Profiles with direct restorations including Deep Margin Elevation.
This 2-day workshop will discuss, demonstrate & practice anterior & posterior direct Biomimetic restorations (black triangles, large restorations) & posterior indirect restorations.
Advanced, tooth-conserving preparations will also be discussed, demonstrated & practiced.
Utilization and techniques for plasma treated polyethylene fiber in Biomimetic restorations will also be discussed.
