Predictable Posterior Contacts Using Sectional Matrices.

Predictable Posterior Contacts Using Sectional Matrices.

presented by:
Dr Jean van Lierop

The success of any practice is built on how well we can do the little things. One of the most important little things that shape our success is the ability to do effective, predictable, and beautiful direct posterior restorations. Most importantly, how we can predictably build tight contacts. 

During this presentation, Dr Jean van Lierop will be presenting case studies and relevant materials choices that support his practical approach to posterior restorations – giving practical tips on problem solving the most common challenging situations. This presentation will help all clinicians build predictably better direct posterior restorations with great contacts.

1) Understand the primary function of the wedge in modern dentistry and learn about the intricacies of wedge size, angle and insertion.
2) Building shape, lines, and seal using sectional matrices.
3) Overview of the practical approach to achieving ideal interproximal contacts.
