Harald 0. Heymann, DDS, M.Ed

How do you prevent recurrent decay and sensitivity, and attain tight proximal contacts? What about bulk-fill composites? MMPs? Sonic and thermoplastic insertion techniques? Bonding and cements for zirconia? Lithium disilicate? CO2 lasers for tooth preparation?” This course will provide info on what works and what doesn’t in adhesive and conservative restorative dentistry, along with how to prevent problems with posterior composites. Get the facts based on research, not just opinion and hype. Learning Objectives: • Distinguish among the many types of adhesive systems and describe what works and what doesn’t • Chronicle the most effective ways to bond to various ceramics, like zirconia and lithium disilicate • Describe new technologies, including CO2 lasers for tooth preparation, direct restoratives and bioactive materials
