Fr6089 - The Great Tooth Killer: Cracked Teeth Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Time: 1:30 - 4 PM
Type: Lectures   
Dentist Fee: $105.00  Other Fee: $75.00

The diagnosis and treatment of cracked and fractured teeth is often a sad, end stage diagnosis. Non-retentive preparation offers a significant departure from the G.V. Black preparations, a leading cause of cracked teeth. We will examine how to diagnose pathologic cracks utilizing magnification and other modalities and treat long before symptoms arise or the tooth becomes unsalvageable. Learn why new Class II cavity preparations and other modalities are crucial to prevent eventual tooth fracture and receive a blueprint for diagnosis and treatment of complete and incomplete fractures.

Saturday Courses
Sa6109 - Crush Your Next Class II Restoration
Time: 9 - 11 AM
Type: Lectures   
Dentist Fee: $105.00  Other Fee: $75.00

Class II composites may not be glamorous, but they’re the foundation of restorative dentistry. This course introduces a new perspective from the traditional approach of putting composite "in" the tooth, to being able to go "around" the tooth. Attendees will learn how to create lasting results with ideal contacts and contours. Through case-based examples and evidence-based techniques, you'll discover why injection molding is faster, stronger, and more predictable than layering—redefining efficiency and excellence in everyday restorative practice.
