We have heard many times that highly aesthetic restorations need sophisticated and complex approaches, only reachable to the `gifted ones´. What if I tell you that this is possible to teach and repeat a feasible method that allows you to achieve perfect restorations with a high rate of success. Material selection, layering technique and morphology management is now-a-days mandatory to mimic the slightest nuances from our patient´s teeth, but always without getting in difficulties to do so.

Dr Abdelrahman Ahmed Tawfik will be our mentor to achieve the ultimate level through lectures, hands-on will be through Microscope for visualization of very fine details and workshop.

Location: The Grand Plaza Hotel Smouha – Alexandria

COURSE CURRICULUM (2 intensive days)

3- Injection (heated composite).
4- Snow plow technique.
5- Sonic fill.
6- Bulk fill technique.
7- Final layer anatomy carving.
8- Beauty of stains.(video only)

Polishing and finishing:
1- How to finish composite without loss anatomy?
2- How to get highly polished surface?
3- How to remove high spots?

**Each participant will do (Practical work):
Dr Abdelrahman Tawfik will show us through his microscope how to isolate and restore with very fine detailed anatomy!!

Isolation hands-on
1- Do quadrant isolation use wing and wingless clamp
2- Use soft tissue Brinker retractor clamp
3- Use Teflon
4- Do floss ligature
5- Learn and do inversion

Composite hands-on
1- Learn how to use sectional matrix (different matrices)
2- How to use Bioclear Twin ring
3- How to build proximal wall (convert class 2 to class 1)
4- learn how to manage Back to Back cavities using injection overmolding technique and bioclear matrices
5- How to do accurate and nice anatomy (using style italiano instruments)
6- Learn how to polish and finish composite (video only)

N.B: All the hands-on will be done on special Nissin casts as they stimulate the natural ginigva perfectly.
