Goodbye GV Black! Embracing Contemporary Composites in the Modern Era

Dentistry has been using composite resin as a restorative material for the past 50 years but are we maximizing the success of our restorations. When we are taught in school to prepare a tooth, we use the principles set down by GV Black. These principles are based on a completely different material. We will discuss an approach that is designed for composite.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn new techniques in restoring a preparation with composite resin.
• Understand how our preparation style and techniques needs to adapt to the properties of the material.
• Learn how changing the properties of the composite can benefit our restoration.
