Part 1: Exciting New Tools for Superb Impressions
Impression material has never been better, however the delivery systems having been in need of improvement. This course will feature six new items that optimize access, eliminate gagging, customize stock trays, distribute low viscosity materials three dimensionally, save expensive material, and grant ergonomic access to difficult areas. Time and material savings equate to a greater bottom line. Smaller female hands require changes in equipment.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:
- Hydraulics are where it’s at in impressions
- Less extrusion pressure means less carpal tunnel
- Stock trays can become custom

Part 2: A Game-Changing Approach to Difficult Class II Composites
Bilateral winged wedges create more interproximal separation as well as creating “concrete formers” where most or all of a wall is missing thereby creating biomimetic restorations quickly and predictably.
All of the current matrix and ring systems ignore the common problem of large missing sections of posterior teeth. If most or all of the lingual or buccal wall of a posterior tooth is missing the dentist usually resorts to the Old Faithful Tofflemeier band and retainer. These time-tested devices did well with amalgam but do not promote good interproximal contacts when used with today’s composites. In addition they don’t create a biomimetic morphology. A new bilateral, winged wedge system answers all these needs
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:
- Proper winged wedge selection
- Proper ring selection
- Placement of both

Part 3: The Newest Developments in the Art and Science of Air Abrasion
Air abrasion has its origin in the 50's. The years since have seen it come and go in popularity as a tooth cutting modality but never in surface conditioning for adhesion. The advent of the water shrouded particle beam has again ignited interest in techniques to create minimally invasive restorations that are both biomimetic and strong. Burs whether carbide or diamond can and do cause crazing and cracking of enamel and dentin whereas particle ablation does not. The last obstacle to overcome was the dust—that has been accomplished with the “water shroud”.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:
- Different applications of air abrasion
- What works in what settings
- Technique for no-anesthetic restorations into dentin
