Contact point: effective posterior teeth direct restoration technique
Contact point: effective posterior teeth direct restoration technique
Course overview
One of the most "challenging" topics in direct restoration is the Class II restoration!
Thanks to our new training, daily work with Class II cavities will become an interesting challenge rather than a problem.
During the training, you will learn ALL stages of working with interproximal defects in molars and premolars:
anesthesia techniques
isolation and preparation
choosing the matrix system
restoration techniques and working with composite
finishing and polishing.
