Why are second molars the most challenging teeth to treat in dentistry? Why do
crowns on these teeth often end up with poor contacts and pack food? We will
answer these questions and many others. The “must know” principles of occlusion
will be laid out in a simple and understandable way. You will also be able to
distinguish between healthy and dangerous TMD conditions.

Why are some cases easy to treatment plan and others complex? Is there a system
to make esthetic treatment planning simple? The answer is, “yes.” It is imperative
that we provide beautiful esthetics with predictability for all our patients. Discover
a simple and complete way of designing any case that combines great function with
beauty. Using a functional smile design checklist, attendees will find themselves
much better equipped to plan their next case easily.

Is multiple layering of different composites on anterior teeth necessary to
achieve a great result? Why is it so difficult to get consistent contacts, marginal
seals and contours on class 2 posterior composites? In this course attendees
will practice the techniques necessary to: Use no more than two shades to
attain beautiful, natural results, place, shape and polish peg lateral composite
restorations and achieve excellence with posterior class 2 composites.

Participants will have the opportunity to use some of the latest proven materials
and learn the functional rules of esthetics. Learn to organize and formulate an
anterior case both esthetically and functionally. Understand how to create the
perfect mock-up and use innovative materials to create guides for the perfect
prep and amazing temporaries. Dr. Bruce will walk through an anterior case in a
step-by-step demonstration.
