Content

Worldwide, composite is regarded as the first choice material for direct restorations. Reviews demonstrate a favorable durability in both the anterior and posterior region. It has been demonstrated that a properly conducted clinical procedure plays a critical role to assure longevity of the composite restoration. This course will elaborate in detail the different steps for placing limited and extensive composite restoration (anterior and posterior): the choice of composite and adhesive system, color determination, cavity preparation, seclusion, the matrix system, layering technique versus bulk fill, design, occlusion and finish. Afterwards in a workshop, the procedures for building an incisal edge of a central upper incisor and a large class II cavity in a first maxillary molar will be reviewed step by step.

Learning Objectives

  • Mastering the principles for the production of an optimal composite restoration
  • Knowing the choices for materials for the composite restoration
  • Understanding the factors which determine the clinical behavior of the composite restoration
  • Being aware of the recovery capabilities of the defective composite restorations

In 1997 promoveerde zij tot Doctor in de Medische Wetenschappen met het proefschrift «Het klinisch gedrag van veneer restauraties en hun invloed op het parodontium. Haar bijzondere aandacht gaat uit naar het herstel van elementen met adhesieve restauratiematerialen en het klinisch gedrag van deze restauraties. Verschillende nationale en internationale publicaties zijn verschenen betreffende veneer restauraties, composietrestauraties in de frontregio en de levensduur van adhesieve restauraties. Vanaf 2004 is zij full-time werkzaam als Tandarts Adjunct Afdelingshoofd op de afdeling Conserverende Tandheelkunde (UZ-Leuven), en is deeltijds hoofddocent aan de KULeuven.
