For years the dental profession has been struggling with providing effective long-term direct restorative solutions for our patients. The evidence is mounting that our current “passive” materials should instead be “bioactive”.

With many new bioactive materials being introduced, there is a need for the dental care provider to understand how to use these materials and why they are important in patient care.

In this course we will explore: • the remin-demin process of the oral cavity and caries progression • preventive care considerations and diagnostics that can help aid in caries detection and treatment • minimally invasive dentistry • the realm of composites and bonding systems, glass ionomers and other bioactive materials and their place in today’s dental care armamentarium. • Develop a better understanding of the current advancements in our profession and how they can be incorporated into the dental practice to make you more productive and profitable.

You will be introduced to several restorative techniques and bioactive materials used in the placement of direct and indirect restorations which can transform the way you approach all your direct restorations. The clinician will help you develop a greater comfort level for the many applications to use these versatile and important dental materials in today’s dental practice.
