Content of the webinar:
The indications for the use of direct composite restorations have been increasingly expanded in recent years. In addition to the classic Black cavities I to V, teeth with challenging, extensive or subgingival-ending cavities can now also be restored using composite. However, the procedures for restorations beyond the standard cavities require the use of special techniques and consideration of the specific material properties of adhesives and composites in complex clinical situations. The practitioner faces difficulties and challenges in these restorations, such as difficult accessibility, management of heavy bleeding, material placement in deep and unclear cavities, preparation in hard-to-reach areas, and much more. In the webinar, you will learn customized tricks and tips that will help you to successfully rehabilitate deeply damaged teeth using direct composites. This practice-oriented webinar is primarily designed for colleagues who are interested in tooth preservation and enjoy working directly with composites.

Highlights:

• Decision-making for the restoration of deep subgingival cavities
• Tips and tricks for drainage, bleeding and tissue management
• Matrix techniques and the use of additional shaping aids
• Tricks for special bubble-free material placement of composite
• R2 technique and box elevation for lifting deep subgingival cavity margins
• Fabrication of sufficient proximal contacts
• Finishing of hard-to-reach areas and efficient polishing
• Further restoration after box elevation with direct and indirect restorations
• Numerous clinical case series are used to provide guidance for everyday practice and explain the current evidence base
