Direct Resin Artistry: Creating Life Like Restorations
Presenter: Dr. Jeffrey Lineberry
Sponsor: DMG America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Patients present to our offices almost daily with anterior teeth that need restorations, including ones that replace a portion of the tooth that is readily visible to the patient and others. In these cases, we can choose to restore the area with a direct or indirect restoration. Indirect restorations are managed often times by a ceramist, but direct restorations require a thorough knowledge of the material and the understanding of effective layering to achieve a restoration that blends in naturally with the sounding tooth structure. In this CE webinar, we will utilize a restorative material that simplifies the layering techniques to achieve an outstanding result.
