Modern Restorative Options for maximum Efficiency and Esthetics
Dr David Juliani
Course fee: $1,250.00
Time: 8:30am - 5:00pm
Location: Te Papa Museum
This course will give an overview of the clinical restorative product lines available today. Time will be dedicated to hands on use of anterior and posterior composites as well as two different cements and adhesives. Technology will be discussed to include the science of curing lights and current digital impression scanners and their clinical uses.
Attendees will be updated on the full portfolio of clinical products to include:
- Curing light science and importance
- Bonding agents and Cements
- Composite Choices
- Ceramic Materials (emax cad, empress cad, tetric cad, zirconia)
- Preventative and Hygiene Materials
- Scanners and Digital Impression Efficiency
A Restorative Driven Path to Endodontic Excellence
Prof Ove Peters
Course fee: $1,250.00
Time: 8:30am - 5:00pm
Location: Te Papa Museum
It has been convincingly demonstrated that restorative factors are predictive for positive results following root canal treatment, specifically when patient-centred outcomes are concerned. Consequently, this course will complement predictable canal shaping, irrigation, and obturation with restorative considerations.
The overall objective of this course is to enhance the knowledge base and technical skills of general dentists in advanced endodontics and the restoration of root canal-treated teeth.
With lectures and practical exercises attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of
- Several contemporary rotary systems for canal shaping
- Means of canal debridement including activated irrigation
- Various methods of root canal obturation with calcium silicate sealers
- Basic restorative principles including placement of orifice barriers
Battle of the Bonds
Dr Michael Mandikos
Course fee: $1,250.00
Time: 8:30am - 4:30pm
Location: Te Papa Museum
About the course
This question is so often heard from Dentists during bonding procedures !
The truth is, there are so many options available for dentine bonding systems and cements today, and so many associated “hints and tips” to get the best bonding performance, that it can become quite confusing, and some clinicians may find themselves using the wrong application technique for their product. The result can be poor bond strengths or post-operative sensitivity issues, which ruin the clinical case, and the inevitable conclusion is that the adhesive is blamed for the unfavourable outcome !
In this, one-day lecture and workshop program, Dr Mandikos will cover the relevant theory of dentine bonding and cementation, to ensure attendees understand how bonding works, and what each of the different systems available actually does. He will demystify bonding protocols and bust a few “Urban Myths” along the way.
Then, in a fun and semi-competitive environment, Attendees will make their own bond testing specimens, with their preferred bond, and test their bond strengths in our special bond strength testing machine. It will be Dentist versus Dentist as course attendees go head to head, to see who can achieve the title of Top Bondodontist !
