In this presentation, Dr. Rafael Beolchi will discuss the basics of light curing: power, irradiance, collimation, and wavelength. He will also examine how much time one should cure and the importance of the size of a curing light.

This course will look at cosmetic dental issues that are of particular concern to our teenage and young adult patients: tooth color and staining issues, post orthodontic refinement of smiles, spacing and crowding, misshapen teeth, and soft tissue considerations. Conservative options and step-by-step treatment will be discussed for direct composite bonding, direct composite veneers, and minimal prep indirect veneers.

Following Part I, Part II will help clinicians understand difficult direct restorations, such as Class IVs and Class IIIs, in order to treat them more efficiently. The optical phenomena of light interaction between the margin of dental enamel and composite will be thoroughly explained, allowing clinicians to prevent and treat the dreaded glass effect among other problems usually faced in that region.

In times of social distancing, many have asked for online courses and StyleItaliano are working on a full program that can deliver this. They are pleased to connect you with these lectures from the Madrid Congress and some videos introducing the Style Italiano philosophy.

Join Dr Shea Bess and learn which adhesives and what techniques give the highest bonding to dentin and enamel.
