- CLOs of the workshop
- By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- - Critically evaluate recent advancements in anterior composite materials and determine their true clinical significance.
- - Differentiate between traditional and contemporary layering concepts in anterior composite restorations.
- - Select appropriate composite systems based on optical properties, handling characteristics and clinical indications.
- - Apply updated adhesive protocols for predictable anterior esthetic outcomes.
- - Integrate modern shade selection strategies including simplified shade systems and value based approaches.
- - Demonstrate advanced finishing and polishing techniques to enhance surface texture, gloss and long term color stability.
