Clinical Excellence in Restorative Dentistry for Children, Teens and Young Adults

Most dentists use composite resin every day in practice. However, very little advanced training exists for treating children and teens. This lecture will provide prescriptive instruction on how to confidently place esthetic, long-lasting restorations in both the anterior and posterior for primary and permanent teeth. Participants will be introduced to new concepts in engineering-based preparation design, anatomically accurate matrices, biofilm removal, and the use of headed composite.

Learning Objectives
Understand how the trifecta of enhanced magnification, biofilm removal and injection molding of heated composite can result in superior anterior and posterior composite restorations for pediatric and adolescent patients.

• Achieve confidence in matrix, wedge and separator selection for modern compression-based Class II restorations. See how anatomical anterior matrices can greatly improve your restorative care
• Learn the art and science of co-curing multi-viscosity composites (surfactant resin plus heated flowable plus heated paste composite)
• Learn modern preparation designs for anterior and posterior restorations based on current engineering principles

Although Dr. Solomon will focus on pediatric and teen patients, all the content will be applicable for any age.
