Course Description:

The purpose of a matrix is to function as a shape-former and facilitate the placement of materials such as amalgam or composite resin.  There are many options available in terms of material selection and scope. This course will discuss various matrixing options as applied to anterior or facial composite restorations. Specifically, metal, and plastic matrices will be discussed, as well as sectional and “full contour” ones.

Objectives:

1.  Gain familiarity with aspects of aesthetic determinants   

2.  Discuss composite options as well as determinants for matrix selection in the anterior dentition

3. Systematize preparation protocols such as isolation and particle abrasion for carious and non-carious restorations

4. Understand the protocol for direct composite injection molding.

 

Course Fee: Includes hands-on materials and full breakfast and lunch on Sunday, February 2.
