Structural Color Gives Life to Restorations Presenter: Dr. Newton Fahl CE Supporter: Tokuyama Dental America Release Date: 11/1/23 Expiration Date: 11/1/26 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Composite resins use pigment-based technology to match the polychromicity of natural teeth. Here, the challenge lies in adequately selecting dentin and enamel shades to mimic the optical characteristics of each layer in a restoration. Unlike other systems, omnichromatic composites are based on the structural color concept whereby a pigment-free, single shade can blend in with the surrounding tooth structure to produce seamless restorations. This CE webinar will discuss how this novel technology can effectively solve different clinical challenges with great esthetic success.

Simplifying Complex Anterior Direct Composites with a Single Shade Composite System Presenter: Dr. Kevin Brown CE Supporter: Tokuyama Dental America Release Date: 11/17/21     Reviewed: 2024 Expiration Date: 11/17/27 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

In recent years, direct anterior composites to improve esthetics in a minimally invasive manner have become increasingly popular. Patients are also being exposed to dental treatments on social media and are seeing what a tooth looks like when it’s drilled down for an indirect porcelain restoration, and it frightens them and they are seeking out alternative less invasive methods to enhance their smiles. Layered “polychromatic” direct composite bonding has been around for a long time, but it is a challenging technique to learn and equally challenging to be fairly compensated for the added time and special materials used. A new single shade composite system has simplified the esthetic anterior composite bonding technique to make it easier for the dentist to achieve seamless results without the frustration of polychromatic layering. This CE webinar will use high quality photography to illustrate how this new single shade composite technique can be used effectively and efficiently to achieve outstanding results.

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.
