Let’s Be Direct: Predictable Protocols That Meet
the Challenges (Morning Course)
Free with AGD
Membership COURSE OUTLINE
Direct composites make up a significant portion of the treatment performed
$350 for on our patients. Layered anterior composites can match perfectly but take
non-Members time and expertise to perform. Single shade and simplified shade universal
composites are easier to use, more predictable, and reduce inventory. Class II
composites can be predictably placed with excellent anatomical contacts

using the latest sectional matrices. Post-operative sensitivity can be a
Rizzo Banquet Hall challenge. Learn how to use the latest universal bonding agents and get
1941 Albion Rd virtually no sensitivity. Learn how to use bulk-fill restorative materials to
Etobicoke, ON quickly restore large restorations. This course will increase your skill and
M9W 6P4 confidence in placing predictable, comfortable long-lasting direct restorations
that you will be proud of.

Being Bioactive: Saving Tooth Structure for the Future
(Afternoon Course)
COURSE OUTLINE
Incorporating minimally invasive techniques with bioactive materials is
patient-centric restorative care. The first restoration defines the long-term
prognosis of a tooth. Early detection and MI treatment are critical. High-viscos-
ity flowable Bioactive restorative materials and composites have recently been
developed with decreased wear, improved appearance, and polish-ability. A
minimalist approach to caries removal is the standard of care. Pulp protection
and sealing deep dentin with Bioactive materials are rapidly evolving. Learn
how and when to use them predictably.
With the changing demographics of our population, it is important to use
age-appropriate restorative materials. Xerostomia is a problem for aging
patients taking multiple medications and results in demineralization of tooth
structure. Older patients often have limited income and have difficulty
tolerating long appointments, so simplicity is critical. Learn strategies that can
easily treat seniors effectively and easily in one appointment.
Bioactive materials help replenish calcium and fluoride ions maintaining tooth
integrity. Glass Ionomer restorative materials can serve as a therapeutic
restorative material, reducing post-operative sensitivity and potential recurrent
decay. Calcium-releasing liners and bases provide a strong antibacterial effect,
assist in dentin remineralization, and act as a protective barrier. This course can
help you make teeth last a lifetime.
Learning Objectives:
• Discover new technologies to detect decay earlier
• Know how to use more conservative preparation and restorative techniques
• Learn techniques to effectively treat older patients more simply usually
in 1 appointment
• Be acquainted with the different bioactive materials that are available
• Know how to select and use bioactive materials to reduce sensitivity
and increase remineralization and tooth longevity
