Confidence in Anterior and Posterior Composite Restorations for the Pediatric Dentist
Treating decalcification, caries and fractures in permanent incisors can be some of the most professionally rewarding procedures for a pediatric specialist. However, working in the esthetic zone can be time consuming and unpredictable. Color matching, recreation of natural anatomy and avoiding debonds will be explored. Time permitting Class II restorations will also be discussed.
Dr. Solomon will use a mix of slides and live procedures with overhead video and a typodont.
Learning Objectives
- Learn to use anatomically-accurate, clear matrices in conjunction with heated and injection molded composite
- Learn to how to quickly place composite, shape and polish restorations that have little risk of debunking

- Review the concepts of golden portions, gingival architecture, and smile design
- Watch live demonstrations of placement of a class III composites, fracture repair and restoration peg lateral
Trends in Minimally Invasive Dentistry
