Composite resin has evolved more than any other material in dentistry. Once bonding to dentin became possible, it transformed restorative dentistry. Since then, the focus has been on making composite restorations simpler and more reliable. Unlike amalgam, composite placement requires multiple precise steps—like tooth conditioning, adhesive application, and careful layering. This discussion highlights recent advances in materials and techniques that improve this complex process.

Direct restorative materials and techniques are constantly evolving. It is a challenge of every practice to differentiate between the products on the market, and know which to choose to ensure predictable results. This program will present the current science behind dentin adhesives and cover which composite placement technique to select, including flowable and bulk-fill. This course will clarify how to decrease post-operative sensitivity and increase the success of your adhesive dentistry.
