SYNOPSIS
  This course will focus on introducing a philosophy of how to conservatively, effectively and artistically perform aesthetic direct anterior composite restorations based on principles of emulating proper form, color and function. Aspects related to the diagnosis, treatment planning and execution of such restorations will be thoroughly addressed. A step-by-step procedural approach to solving day-to-day anterior direct restorative challenges, which include shade selection, color mapping, color mock-up, tooth preparation, composite resin selection and artistic implementation, will be presented.

OBJECTIVES
  1. Discuss treatment alternatives to anterior ceramic restorations that can elicit superbly esthetic and long-lasting results.
  2. Teach the polychromatic layering technique to mimic the natural dentition.
  3. Introduce and discuss ideal physical and color properties of aesthetic composite restorative systems to allow the clinician to be able to select a composite that meets his/her needs.
  4. Utilize esthetic principles of composite resin shade matching and placement techniques to improve esthetics and placement time with composite resin restorations.
  5. Discuss finishing and polishing techniques for achieving proper anatomy, function and an enamel-like appearance.
  6. Introduce and discuss the criteria for selecting suitable composite restoratives and their multi-faceted utilization in direct procedures.
  7. Present interdisciplinary approaches and form-function treatment planning for enhancing anterior aesthetics with composite resins.
  8. Present the rationale for enhancing operative effectiveness and practice income through direct composite procedures.
