Subject:  Restorative  |  Audience: Dentists  |  CE Credits: 3 hours Lecture

Limited to: 30 Attendees

Course Description:

In this hands on course you will begin the exploration of Minimally Invasive Dentistry as it relates to posterior indirect restorations. The traditional approach we all learned early on in our careers will be challenged as we look to take the approach of “prep less and bond more”. Advanced Adhesion techniques and materials can help to minimize the removal of healthy tooth structure and take your restorations to the next level. We will perform nonretentive preparations and dentin protection strategies together with temporization techniques you can implement in your practice.
