POSTERIOR COMPOSITE DENTISTRY

Protocols for Predictable Posterior Restorations

An intensive two-day hands-on course designed to help dentists restore posterior teeth with confidence, precision and predictability.

This course focuses on practical protocols for posterior composite dentistry, giving participants the knowledge and hands-on experience to assess, plan and deliver single and multiple posterior composite restorations in a realistic clinical timeframe.

You will learn how to create predictable contacts, understand posterior tooth morphology, manage larger cavities and apply practical techniques that can be used immediately in everyday practice.

Course Overview

The programme will cover:

• Posterior tooth morphology and occlusal anatomy
• Assessment and planning of single and multiple posterior restorations
• Practical rubber dam isolation techniques
• Bonding protocols for posterior composites
• Monochromatic and bichromatic layering techniques
• Sectional matrix systems and contact point creation
• Restoration of upper 4, 5, 6, 7 and lower 4, 5, 6, 7 teeth
• Managing deep cavities
• Cuspal fractures and larger cavity designs
• Deep margin elevation
• Direct composite onlays
• Finishing and polishing protocols

Hands-On Training

Participants will work step by step through posterior composite restorations using different types of sectional matrix bands and clinical workflows.

The hands-on component will include build-ups of upper and lower posterior teeth, with close guidance and feedback at every stage.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the course, delegates will have a clearer understanding of:

• Posterior morphology and functional anatomy
• How to achieve predictable isolation
• Bonding protocols for posterior restorations
• How to create tight, anatomical contact points
• Efficient layering strategies
• Management of deep and complex cavities
• How to restore fractured cusps and direct onlay cases
• Clinical protocols that can be applied straight away in practice
