Anterior Composite Resin Masterclass
Dr Jihyon Kim was a guest speaker in The Hybrid Layer’s Anterior Composite Resin Masterclass, which was available to access online and on-demand from 6th January 2023 until 31st March 2023.
In her lecture, Dr Kim discusses anterior aesthetic dilemmas such as the midline diastema, undersized lateral incisor, and class IV restorations which are encountered in every general practice. One does not have to be a “cosmetic” dentist to treat these with confidence. Dr Kim discusses the types of cases that can be successfully treated with minimal planning, a basic composite colour palette, and simple polishing steps. These basic concepts can help every clinician elevate their composite skills.
Aims & Objectives:
1) Case selection for injection overmolded restorations.
2) Understand predictable shade selection for single shade restorations, in relation to the concept of non-layered polychromaticity.
3) An overview of a predictable and simple discing, shaping and polishing protocol.
4) Matrix and contact management for space closure; undersized lateral incisors; and diastema cases.
