About this lecture

Functional and Aesthetic Morphology: Direct Posterior Composite Restorations

Class I and II composite restorations are perhaps the most common dental procedures we carry out in our daily clinical lives. One of the most challenging elements in these cases is to create a natural morphology that is harmonised with the aesthetics of the adjacent teeth while providing maximum functionality. In Biomimetic Dentistry it is common to hear that the bottom layers of the restoration are the most important, however the final layers and morphology of the restoration also play a vital role in occlusal function. Do not miss this unique opportunity to learn how to create functional restorations using direct composite from an expert in morphology.
