Direct Composite Restorations

Create restorations that look right, feel right and function properly.

Composite dentistry should be predictable, efficient and satisfying.

Over two intensive practical days, develop the skills to produce posterior restorations with reliable contacts, anatomical form and functional occlusion, alongside anterior restorations that reproduce natural tooth anatomy.

Move beyond simply filling cavities towards restoring teeth with precision and purpose.

Day 4 — Posterior Composites

Learn how to simplify posterior composite dentistry without compromising quality.

You will develop the skills to:

• Create predictable proximal contacts and contours.

• Select and position matrices effectively.

• Use efficient placement and layering techniques.

• Reproduce natural occlusal anatomy.

• Reduce the time spent adjusting and finishing restorations.

Day 5 — Anterior Composites

Discover a systematic approach to creating natural-looking anterior restorations.

You will develop the skills to:

• Restore Class IV defects with confidence.

• Reproduce natural tooth shape and proportions.

• Position line angles and embrasures accurately.

• Develop appropriate surface morphology and texture.

• Achieve a polished finish that complements natural dentition.

The practical experience: Two days of individual workstation exercises, demonstrations and personalised tutor feedback.
