Dr. Agne Malisauskiene - The One and The Two - Hands-on Composite Course - Gothenburg - 25-25 Apr 2025

Friday: "The One" - Hands-on Course

This one day course is intended for every dentist who performs direct anterior composite restorations. The course consists of a lecture and hands-on. First part covers dental anatomical landmarks that matter in composite restorations, composite resin properties, effective use of rubber dam system, principles of free hand direct anterior restorations, simplified preparation, layering, finishing and polishing protocol in order to achieve seamless margins. Hands-on part consists of restoring central and lateral incisors (Class III, small class IV, diastema closure - all freehand restorations) utilising “Connect the dots” concept where the natural shape is followed.

The course will cover how to face everyday challenges in anterior restorations in order to achieve longevity and great aesthetics.

Program Friday: "The One":

LECTURE

Fast and efficient dentistry: freehand restorations in 30 - 40 minutes

Dental anatomy: the fundamentals and anatomical landmarks

DRAWING EXERCISE

"Connect the dots" - finding the anatomy

LECTURE

Composite resin properties Matrixing and layering Creating interproximal contacts Seamless margins

HANDS - ON

Lateral incisor - Class III restorations - small and large - layering, mylar pull, polishing. Learning objectives: creating palatal marginal ridges, tight interproximal contacts, layering, creating invisible margins.

HANDS - ON

Central incisor - Class IV restoration - layering, finishing,

polishing. Learning objectives: seamless tooth - composite margin, mimicking contralateral anatomical and optical width.

Saturday: "The Two" Hands-on Course

STRESS-FREE DENTISTRY The course is designed for dentists who want to succeed in direct composite veneers.

The main focus of the course is to teach dentists what to look for while creating composite veneers - how to avoid the most common mistakes and how to correct them. The course consists of a lecture and hands-on. First part covers intricate dental anatomy composite resin properties, principles of direct mockup and waxup, guided direct anterior restorations - composite veneers: different layering techniques, finishing, polishing and texturing protocol in order to achieve bio-emulating restoration. Hands-on part consists of freehand mockup, creating silicone stent and restoring two central incisors in two different layering techniques.

Program Saturday: "The Two" - Composite Veneers

LECTURE

Intricate dental anatomy: shapes of teeth, ageing, texture and how to use anatomy to create optical illusions.

DRAWING EXERCISE Mimicking nature

LECTURE
