Composite Veneers Online Training Modules
Are you ready to enhance your anterior cases with the right composite resin? With over 70 composite resin systems available, the task can be daunting. However, mastering the selection of strong, polishable, sculptable, and lifelike materials can significantly elevate your practice and give you the confidence to handle any case. 

This module will not only teach you how to select the ideal composites but also how to apply this knowledge in your practice. You will learn to choose the best composites based on their biomechanical and optical properties for anterior restorations. You will also learn when to use enamel and dentin shades for the best esthetics and how to use diverse layering techniques in different clinical scenarios effectively. By the end of this module, you will be fully prepared and ready to apply these techniques immediately, making your practice more efficient and effective.

CVO Members will learn the following:
- The optical and biomechanical characteristics of natural dentin and enamel and how to correlate them with composite resins.
- The differences between microfills, hybrids, and nanofills and why we should use them distinctly based on handling, strength, polishability, and color stability.
- The Polychromatic Layering Technique and the Natural Layering Concept and their indications.
- Why and how can custom shade tabs make shade selection more straightforward and predictable.
Direct veneers are a valuable restorative tool, especially when used by a knowledgeable and skilled operator. They are a conservative and cost-effective alternative to porcelain veneers, with or without tooth preparation. Creating a lifelike composite veneer on a tooth with a suitable color substrate requires mastering tooth morphology, smile design, and correctly selecting and layering enamel and dentin shades for optimal polychromatic results. Tints can enhance natural effects like translucency, white spots, craze lines, mamelons, and chroma changing when used correctly. 

Furthermore, direct veneering a single discolored anterior tooth is one of the most challenging tasks. It requires meticulous attention to tooth preparation design and using opaquers to achieve the correct hue, chroma, and value. This module will provide you with the knowledge and skills to overcome these challenges and master this procedure, empowering you to handle even the most complex cases confidently and quickly.

CVO Members will learn the following:
- Simple tips on micro and macro abrasion to remove unesthetic enamel spots.
- The ideal composites and layering strategies for changing tooth form and color.
- Using single shade and omnichromatic composites for optimal esthetics.
- Composites are best suited for veneers that require incisal edge augmentation.
- Orthodontic considerations for optimal tooth arrangement in the smile frame for cases associating multiple diastemas and veneers.
- Addressing the Class IV-Veneer combo challenge with the Polychromatic Layering Technique.
- Morphology rearrangement of missing teeth in the smile frame.
- Preparation guidelines for discolored central incisors.
- Selecting and applying the correct opaquer to turn a dark tooth into a natural-looking tooth.
- 5 steps for finishing veneers to perfect primary anatomy.
- Creating secondary anatomy (vertical and horizontal).
- Polishing steps for an enamel-like appearance.
The direct-indirect technique for composite resin veneer fabrication is a versatile method that combines the distinct advantages of the direct and indirect techniques. A direct-indirect restoration is when the composite resin is sculpted directly on the tooth structure without previous adhesive preparation, light-activated, removed from the tooth, heat tempered, finished, and polished extraorally, and finally adhered indirectly in the mouth in a single appointment. 

The resulting restoration exhibits improved mechanical properties, excellent esthetics, and unrivaled marginal adaptation and polishing. One of the most significant advantages of this technique is the possibility of modulating the final color of the restoration with luting agents, allowing for minor modifications in the restoration hue, chroma, and value. The direct-indirect technique has many applications, including prepless contact lenses and veneers, veneers with preparation (discolored teeth), fragments, diastema closure, and noncarious cervical lesions.

CVO Members will learn the following:
- When should porcelain veneers and composite veneers be indicated?
- The advantages of the direct-indirect over the direct technique.
- Why is the direct-indirect technique superior to the direct technique for addressing subgingival margins?
- Why is the technique so effective for previewing final esthetic results and getting the patient's approval?
- Ten steps to perform the technique confidently, from shade selection to luting.
- Using supplemental extra-oral light-curing and heat tempering to optimize the restoration's optical and mechanical properties.
A contact lens is 0.2-.05 mm thick, while a veneer is 0.5-1.5 mm thick. The former is made with enamel shades to modify the shape and color. At the same time, the latter uses enamel and dentin shades to generate the correct morphology, translucency, and opacity necessary for thicker restorations. Both can be applied on prepless single or multiple teeth to establish a harmonious color and form arrangement. The non-invasiveness of the procedure allows for fast layering, finishing, and luting, making this a first option for most anterior veneering cases. Moreover, the ability to try in the restorations before luting to get the patient's approval reduces chances for errors and remakes. This module will teach a protocol that can be effectively implemented with success.

CVO Members will learn the following:
- The many advantages of prepless direct-indirect contact lenses and veneers for restoring a single tooth or redesigning a new smile.
- The simplicity and the beauty of extremely thin contact lenses to create new contours and color quickly and effectively.
- Different layering types (monochromatic, omnichromatic, and polychromatic) to achieve the desired esthetics.
- Ten intra and extra-oral finishing and polishing steps for achieving unmatched marginal adaptation and polish.
- How to do a perfect contact lens in less than 12 minutes.
- How to achieve excellent interproximal contact quality when restoring multiple units.
- Using try-in pastes for modulating the final shade before luting.
- Adhesive selection and practical steps for bonding to unprepared enamel.
Intrinsic discoloration of the maxillary dentition that cannot be resolved through bleaching is the perfect indication for the direct-indirect veneering technique. Although generalized discoloration is considered an essential esthetic compromise, restoring the single discolored central incisor poses the most significant challenge. The upper central incisors are the dominant elements in the smile frame. Achieving perfect symmetry in color and shape forms the basis for freehand veneers. One of the biggest challenges is choosing the restorative materials and achieving the correct shade. Another equally important challenge is mimicking the anatomy of the central incisors through a finishing and polishing protocol that results in perfect morphology.

CVO Members will learn the following:
- How to avoid a dull-looking appearance and obtain color harmony when veneering discolored maxillary central incisors, respecting the correct thicknesses for each increment. 
- Comparing direct and direct-indirect techniques to assess their benefits.
- How to select resins, opaquers, and tints and layer them correctly to obtain polychromatic veneers.
- Visualizing symmetry references through the geometric perception of upper central incisors and obtaining anatomical symmetry when veneering upper central incisors through layering and finishing techniques. 
- A step-by-step protocol to obtain perfectly symmetrical incisal edges, point angles, embrasures, and secondary and tertiary anatomy.
- The use of silicone guides for optimal tooth preparation.
- Finishing and polishing to a lifelike appearance.
- Adhesion protocol for bonding to enamel and freshly-cut dentin.
Evolving from single or two-unit cases into more complex multiple-unit cases requires practice and dedication. Although clinically feasible, the time required and the operative logistics to restore multiple units with the direct-indirect technique increase exponentially. The introduction of an in-office indirect technique performed on flexible die models allows the confluence of the minimal invasiveness of the direct-indirect technique with attributes of indirect laboratory work. This module will teach you how to complete multiple units of composite resin veneers on flexible silicone models. 

CVO Members will learn the following:
- The Indirect Flexible Die Model Workflow.
- Using intra-oral mock-ups as part of the smile design.
- Impressions and working models.
- How to manage multiple veneers with different case studies of the techniques.
The direct-indirect Class V restoration for NCCLs developed from the direct-indirect veneer and is essentially a semi-veneer covering the cervical third and possibly the middle third of the clinical crown. Similarly to the veneer technique, the composite resin is applied and sculpted on the cervical lesion, light-cured, removed, finished, polished, and bonded like a v-shaped inlay. This technique allows precise extraoral margin finishing and polishing. It overcomes the challenges associated with the direct technique, including access to difficult-to-reach areas, field isolation, composite handling, polymerization shrinkage stresses, gingival margin finishing, marginal adaptation, periodontal health maintenance, patient comfort, and operator ergonomics.

CVO Members will learn the following:
- Grafting versus restoring.
- The benefits of the direct-indirect over the direct technique for restoring NCCLs.
- Step-by-step protocol for easy, effective handling of NCCLs with the direct-indirect Class V inlay technique.
- Composite selection for best handling, polishing, and esthetics.
- Using gingiva-colored composites.
- The best adhesion protocol for bonding the inlays to sclerotic dentin.

Your CVO membership includes a full-day online seminar with Dr. Newton Fahl  that will teach you many additional composite resin techniques beyond veneers. This is planned for the fall of 2025.

This full day online seminar will focus on introducing a philosophy of how to conservatively, effectively and artistically perform aesthetic direct anterior composite restorations based on principles of emulating proper form, color and function. Aspects related to the diagnosis, treatment planning and execution of such restorations will be thoroughly addressed. A step-by-step procedural approach to solving day-to-day anterior direct restorative challenges, which include shade selection, color mapping, color mock-up, tooth preparation, composite resin selection and artistic implementation, will be presented. 

In his presentation, Dr. Fahl didactically brings composite restorations to an art form, from invisible class IV restorations, direct veneers and diastema closure to the non-orthodontic correction of misaligned teeth. An in-depth discussion of the predictable application of smile design concepts to the esthetic and functional rehabilitation of the anterior dentition with direct composite restorations will be presented. Inter-disciplinary approaches involving orthodontics and minor periodontal esthetic surgery to enhance anterior direct restorative procedures will be introduced. Aspects of clinical relevance such as how to create seamless transitions from tooth substance to the synthetic composite restoratives by correct finishing and polishing techniques will be thoroughly discussed. The necessary armamentarium, from instruments to restorative materials, for the predictable and stress-free realization of such restorations will be introduced as clinical cases are meticulously discussed.

CVO Members will learn the following:
1. Discuss treatment alternatives to anterior ceramic restorations that can elicit
superbly esthetic and long-lasting results.
2. Teach the polychromatic layering technique to mimic the natural dentition.
3. Introduce and discuss ideal physical and color properties of aesthetic composite restorative systems to allow the clinician to be able to select a composite that meets his/her needs.
4. Utilize esthetic principles of composite resin shade matching and placement
techniques to improve esthetics and placement time with composite resin
restorations.
5. Discuss finishing and polishing techniques for achieving proper anatomy,
function and an enamel-like appearance.

7. Present interdisciplinary approaches and form-function treatment planning for enhancing anterior aesthetics with composite resins.
8. Present the rationale for enhancing operative effectiveness and practice income through direct composite procedures.
This layering technique, published by Fahl et al. in 1995, was the first to introduce the biomechanical and optical correlation between natural hard tissues and restorative composite resins. It transcends the use of an all-purpose, single commercial system. Instead, it explores the possibility of choosing the materials with the best performance according to handling, color, strength, and polishability and mixing them into a customized kit of the operator's preference.

This bonus training will demonstrate via video the build-up of two central incisors on a dentoform using different brands for each layer and explain their selection and application rationale.

CVO Members will learn the following:
- Composite resin selection and layering according to the Polychromatic Layering Technique.
- The use of contouring instruments and brushes for controlling increment thickness and morphology.
- Advanced finishing and polishing technique for recreating exquisite enamel-like surface texture.
