Injectable Techniques for Direct Anterior Restorations

Lecture Description: 

Direct anterior composites represent the bread and butter of dentistry. As composites have evolved and improved in esthetics and physical properties, their indications have expanded. Newer techniques like injection have streamlined their insertion and made easier to achieve great anterior esthetic restorations. This lecture will present modern techniques and materials through analog and digital protocols, as well as clinical cases to illustrate the step-by-step of injecting composites.

Objective: 
  • Learn the planning of injection restorations
  • Learn about the materials used in injection techniques
  • Create direct composite restorations using injectable composites.
