Two days (Rubber dam Isolation + Esthetic Posterior Composite Restoration) course.
Topics to be covered:
Isolation:
1- Why should we use rubber dam?
2- Types of frames and when to use which?
3- Medium or heavy dam?
4- Winged or wingless clamp? (when, which and how to use/apply)
5- Soft-tissue retraction clamps.
6- Floss uses and solution (floss ligature).
7- Teflon solution.
8- DME (Deep Marginal Elevation)
9- Double frame technique.
10- Double dam technique.
11- How to control leakage?
12- Flowable composite uses in isolation.

Bonding:
1- Total etch or self-etch?
2- Selective etch technique.
3- How to overcome hypersensitivity?
4- Dry or wet dentin.
5- Sclerotic dentin bonding.

Modern Cavity Design

Matrices and wedges:
1- Why sectional?
2- Which sectional matrix? (Types).
3- Ring; From old metal to new V ring.
4- No ring situation.
5- Wooden wedge modification.
6- Pre-wedging.
7- Diamond wedge revolution.
8- Teflon wedge.

Composite placement and application techniques:
1- Condensation.
2- Smear.
3- Injection (heated composite).
4- Snow plow technique.
5- Sonic.
6- Bulk fill technique.
7- Final layer anatomy carving.
8- Beauty of stains.

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):

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
2- How to use V ring
3- How to build proximal wall (convert class 2 to class 1)
4- How to do accurate and nice anatomy (using style italiano instruments)
5- Use stain
6- Learn how to polish and finish composite

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