THE COURSE

Direct conservative dentistry: anterior and posterior restorations

The direct conservative dentistry course is a theoretical-practical course that offers comprehensive training in performing direct anterior and posterior restorations.

The protocols for every operative phase will be described in detail, with the goal of restoring the damaged tooth to its original condition, indistinguishable from a healthy tooth.

The course is aimed both at those seeking the fundamentals of conservative dentistry and at those who want to refine existing techniques, through educational videos and detailed clinical cases.

Posterior Restorations

Theory
  • Diagnosis: cariological and radiological concepts for a correct treatment plan
  • Rubber dam isolation: isolation techniques for simple and complex cases. Clamp and instrumentation selection. Protocols for stable isolation

  • Class I restorations: choice of modelling technique and instrumentation. Use of supercolours for superior aesthetics
  • Class II restorations: choice of matrix, wedge, and separator. How to achieve the optimal contact point. Management of subgingival cavities. Contact point even in the most complex cases
  • Finishing and polishing: simple and predictable system, glossy surfaces with invisible transitions between tooth and restoration
  • Post-endodontic reconstructions: indications and techniques for endodontically treated teeth. Rehabilitation with direct restoration

Anterior Restorations

Theory
  • Shape and colour analysis: aesthetic analysis, study of shapes, structure, and colour of an anterior tooth. Foundation for the treatment plan
  • Rubber dam isolation: classic and alternative techniques (split dam). Management of complex cases
  • Cavity preparation for Class III, IV, V: cavity design and margin finishing. Invisible transitions between tooth and composite
  • Composite selection: market overview. Indications based on the clinical situation
  • Layering: single-mass VS multi-mass approach. Techniques with silicone key and diagnostic wax-up
  • Supercolours: description and application of colour types. Reproducing even the smallest details that make each tooth unique
  • Finishing and polishing: analysis of primary, secondary, and tertiary anatomy. Simple and predictable protocol for glossy, natural surfaces
  • Trauma management: execution of re-bonding of the fractured fragment
  • Internal bleaching: indications and execution technique
  • White spot management: choosing the minimally invasive approach
  • Direct veneers and diastema closure: improving smile harmony through shape modifications. Operative protocol for performing significant changes in shape and size of anterior teeth
  • Direct VS indirect: limits and possibilities of new composites
Practice Hands-on Practice
  • LIVE DEMO: execution of a Class IV restoration by Dr. Ceroni
  • Hands-on practice: layering, finishing, and polishing
