Totally Simplified Color Matching - Single Shade Direct Composite Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Bob Lowe CE Supporter: Tokuyama Dental America Tue  10/15/19    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Tue  10/15/19    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Creating aesthetic direct composite restorations that precisely match existing tooth color is a clinical challenge that can be difficult for even the most experienced clinician. Shades for most composite materials rely upon 1950’s technology – the VITA Lumin Shade Guide. Clinical reality is that many composites do not precisely match the VITA Shade Guide let alone each other! This can be extremely frustrating for the clinician, especially for a patient that is “picky” about aesthetic matching. Having a universal, single-shade composite system that can take the “guesswork” and frustration out of shade selection and match a majority of clinical situations, is something that restorative dentists will welcome! In this CE webinar, you will be introduced to the first of its kind...a truly universal single-shade composite system. ( full description, bio and commercial disclosure )

The Art of Efficient Esthetics - Next Generation Composites Reserve Seat Presenter: Dr. Pete Gardell CE Supporter: Ivoclar Vivadent Tue  10/22/19    7:00 PM ET    4:00 PM PT Tue  10/22/19    11:00 PM UTC CE Credits: 1 Live, Interactive CEU top

Predictability and long-term success of posterior composite restorations continue to be a primary concern for many practitioners due to technique sensitive steps required for proper placement. Direct resin restorations can be considered the cornerstone of a restorative dental practice due to the frequency that they are performed. These restorations are also a point of pressure for the dentist due to financial factors, such as down coding from insurance companies; and time issues due to the complexity of the process. New advancements in resin and photo-polymerization technology allow us to simplify these procedures without compromising quality. This CE webinar will focus on proper adhesion protocols and the establishment of proper form and function while meeting the esthetic demands of today’s patients.
