Dentistry has advanced tremendously in all fields with dentists being able to provide a wide array of clinical procedures. This advancement has been further accelerated by digital technology. However, at the core of dental procedures provided are your classic resin restorations, a treatment modality that is often overlooked and taken for granted. One often assumes that dentists have general proficiency with restorative treatment and yet there can be a high degree of variability in the final outcomes and success rates of restorations.
This course will be an exciting journey at ways to create exquisite resin restorations, with practical step by step approaches taught throughout. Clinical cases will be shown with detailed and thorough hands-on training provided for the clinicians to use immediately in their practices. This course complements well with the CAD/CAM modules offered through our Academy.
