Fundamentals of Operative Dentistry-I and II (Topic I & II) ODFI - 980 & ODF-II 980

 

These courses present great guide to understanding the basics of dentistry (Restorative). They also provide valuable information for understanding the scientific basis for current treatment options in dentistry. There will be a thorough progress through the processes of tooth preparation and restoration of the carious lesion as it presents in the clinical setting. They contain all the basics of Operative Dentistry and have expanded to include the current techniques and materials. Such as caries etiology, recent advances in caries removal methods, techniques of managing deep carious lesions & non carious lesions, causes of dentin hypersensitivity, how to overcome this problem and pretreatment of dentine before placement of restorations the adhesion and bonding have been included. Enamel and dentin adhesion and on resin composite restorations have been substantially revised to incorporate the latest evidence. Esthetic dentistry trends and techniques have also been broadened. Esthetic concepts will be discussed, occlusion and restoration so that patient needs may be addressed. Recent esthetic treatment modalities including smile analyses, macro and micro-abrasion, dental bleaching & laminate veneers. The courses combine proven methods with the latest scientific developments in Preventive Dentistry. Current concepts in caries management, badly destructed teeth and remineralization are presented, as is preservation of pulpal health.
