Course Information
Course Scope and Program:
This comprehensive course delves into the intricacies of aesthetic composites, empowering dental professionals to achieve optimal outcomes in dental restorations and understand the ortho restorative interface. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the synergistic relationship between orthodontics and aesthetics, along with hands-on experience in various techniques, including bonding, intraoral scanning, impression taking, and injectables composite veneers. Dr James Bartalotta will feature his unique technique of warming the composite before using it on injectable composite veneers. This technique can help to improve the flow and adaptability of the composite, resulting in a more natural-looking veneer.
