Cosmetic Dentistry with Stress-Free Composites: Easier & More Predictable Procedures
(full day course)
Course Description
Direct restorations are the foundation of most dental practices, yet restorations with composites can be a source of great frustration in practice today. This course will integrate an understanding of materials and their application to restorations in posterior and anterior teeth. Attendees will leave with a greater understanding of how to make these restorations both simple and aesthetic.
Topics to be discussed
- How to replace amalgam with confidence
- Understanding the fundamentals of tooth structure
- When and why we conserve tooth structure
- When is a cracked tooth a concern
- Review of different materials and systems
- Review of color, opacity, translucency, and texture
- Angles and beveling for invisible margins
- The importance of layering methods in placement of composite resin
- How to achieve esthetic restorations quickly with minimally invasive dentistry
- Achieving correct anatomical form and contacts
- Achieving a lustrous polish using less time and effort
Posterior Composite Layering:
Achieving Natural Restorations using a Simple Technique
Course Description
Posterior composite restorations are here to stay. Direct posterior restorations are the foundation of most dental practices, yet restoring them with composite can be a source of great frustration in practice today. This course will integrate an understanding of materials today and their application to restorations in posterior teeth. Attendees will leave with a greater understanding how to make these restorations not only simple, but also aesthetic so as to inspire our patients.
Course Topics
- Understanding the fundamentals of tooth structure
- When and why we conserve tooth structure
- When is a cracked tooth a concern
- Applications of lasers in restorative dentistry
- Direct pulp capping using a non contact laser
- Review of different materials and systems
- Review of color, opacity, translucency, and texture
- Angles and beveling for invisible margins
- The importance of layering methods in placement of composite resin
- How to achieve esthetic restorations quickly with minimally invasive dentistry
- Achieving correct anatomical form and contacts
- Achieving a lustrous polish using less time and effort
Course Objectives
- Understand natural tooth shading and color
- Gain a better understanding of adhesives
- Learn how to dramatically decrease sensitivity
- Gain an understanding of how micro-hybrid systems work
- Learn how to create a life-like restoration using different opacities of materials.
- Learn techniques for improving finishing and polishing
- Understand limitations of today’s materials
- Gain hands on experience using today’s micro-hybrid materials
- Learn layering techniques to obtain aesthetics and longevity
Presentation Time

Anterior Composite Layering:
A Simple Approach to Achieve Predictable Results
Course Description
The new millennium is well underway and it has brought about a new patient interest in cosmetic and esthetic dentistry. This course will integrate materials science and clinical tips to give participants a better understanding of how to achieve predictable results using a micro-hybrid composite. Dr Parker addresses in a realistic way the issues every dentist faces in daily practice and how to create successful restorations the first time.
Topics to be discussed
Course objectives
Presentation time
- Three to four hours for lecture (depending on content)
- Four to five hours if including hands on portion (optional)
Indirect Posterior Restorations:
Preservation of Tooth Integrity Using Today’s Materials and Yesterday’s Excellence
Course Description
Inlays and Onlays have been used successfully for decades. Gold in particular has proven itself against the test of time. Today we have the option of providing our patients with gold, porcelain, and resin based conservative restorations. Dr. Parker will address issues concerning the use of gold today as well as covering the application of resin and porcelain as restorative options. This course will teach participants restorative material selection as well as techniques for successfully utilizing all three materials.
Topics to be discussed
- Proper diagnosis to prepare for success
- Material selection
- Basing for the most conservative preparation
- Preparation guidelines
- Impression techniques
- Temporization techniques
- Cementation protocol
Course Objectives
- Understand which material to select for different situations
- Help our patients understand the benefits and limitations of indirect restorations
- Understand preparation techniques for each material
- Understand cementation and bonding technique for different materials
- Learn when to base and when not to
- Gain an understanding of making these materials disappear
- Understand the limitations of conservative restorations
- Principles of preparation that don’t change with materials
- Temporization for differing materials
- What can your patients expect
Presentation Time
- Three to six hours for lecture (depending on course needs)
- This course can include a hands on portion
Restoring Implants:
Abutment to Zirconium on restoring implants today and how to get the results you want

Implants have been used successfully in dentistry for many years now. They have become the standard of care in treating patients today. After completing this course, participants will be familiar with the art of restorative dental implant cases. These steps include treatment planning, uncovery, impression, provisionalization, and final restorative placement. Through simple treatment protocol and laboratory procedures participants will learn how to develop highly esthetic restorations that replicate the contour of natural teeth. In addition they will learn how to gain patient acceptance for implant treatment and restorative treatment plans, plus the fundamentals of a team approach to implant dentistry.
