 Posterior Composite Masterclass

If you have experienced difficulty with contacts, deep margins or post-op sensitivity with posterior composite resins this New Masterclass is for you!

 PCM Masterclass Modules
The Posterior Composite Masterclass is taught by Dr. Bob Margeas and
Dr. Marcos Vargas using 4 different clinical modules. This online course is based on a foundation of science, dental research and the literature but grounded in the practical clinical experience of Bob and Marcos. 

Details for each module are listed below. 
Module One: Adhesive Techniques And Isolation For Posterior Composites
If you are having problems with sensitivity when placing posterior composite restorations this module will teach you how to prevent it. Techniques discussed will virtually eliminate any issues with this problem. What adhesive systems out there offer the best results in the most efficient manner? The new Universal adhesives are here to stay but do they live up to their hype? We will address this in great detail. Do we need Bio Active materials, and are they really accomplishing what they claim? Find out in Module 1. We will also teach you how and when to remove all carious dentin and isolation techniques specifically for posterior restorations.  

What PCM members will learn:
•    Adhesive techniques for posterior composites to improve quality and eliminate sensitivity
•    Different generations of adhesive products and how to use them in posterior composites
•    Rubber dam isolation and other isolation techniques in the posterior.
•    When and how to use bases and liners
•    Are Bioactive materials worth using
•    Should I be using desensitizing agents
•    How to use and test your curing lights to ensure a quality result
•    Does all carious dentin need to be removed
•    Different composite material types for posterior cases. Nano, bulk fill, flowable
•    The applications of posterior glass ionomer and sealants
Module Two: Posterior Composites Foundational Techniques
Are you are having any difficulties with your posterior composite restorations? We all have had problems at some point with these technique sensitive procedures.  

This foundational module is designed to jump start your technique, so you never have an open, poorly shaped contact and understand how to contour and polish posterior composites to eliminate flash and overhangs for ultimate function and esthetics. 

Are wooden wedges better than the newer plastic ones? An in-depth discussion on how to choose the right ring and matrix system along with what materials work best will be shown to achieve a tight contact and proper anatomical form.  

Posterior composite resins are a procedure most of us do every day in our offices and this module will teach you to make them better, faster, easier, profitable and predictable in your practice.

What PCM members will learn:
•    Step-by-step techniques and workflow for different posterior composites.
•    Where and when to use flowable materials for posterior composites.
•    Ideal cavity preparation designs for posterior composites.
•    Different ring and matrix systems to create tight contacts with no overhangs.
•    Preventing white lines.
•    How to deal with deep and extensive caries lesions.
•    How to contour and polish posterior composites.
•    What instruments work the best for posterior composites- from placement to finishing.
•    What is the "Snowplow Technique" and should you use it.
•    Which burs are best for preparation and finishing.
•    Which wedges are best.
•    Is heating composites a good or bad idea?
•    Microconservative cavity preparation techniques and materials
•   The applications of posterior glass ionomer and sealants
Module Three: Posterior Composites Advanced Techniques
This module will build on the foundation you learned in module 2 and teach you how to manage even more difficult and challenging cases. 

Many times, patients present with fractured posterior cusps, deep recurrent decay, or multiple failing restorations. How do you determine when to do a posterior composite resin vs a crown or onlay? How do you handle back to back class 2 restorations? Should these restorations be completed simultaneously, or individually? What about the buzz word “biomimetic”? Is that a particular restoration? If there is deep subgingival decay and isolation is an issue, how do you handle those clinical situations. This Module will answer these questions and more to teach you how to manage difficult clinical situations with posterior composite resins. 

What PCM members will learn:
•    Step-by step techniques and workflow for advanced posterior composites
•    How to manage deep and extensive caries lesions
•    Deep margin elevation materials and techniques
•    Bulk fill materials and techniques that will eliminate sensitivity problems clinicians are experiencing with these materials
•    Managing back to back class 2 and quadrant cases.
•    The Stamp technique.
•    Custom ring and wedge techniques with Teflon and other materials
•    How to use the Bioclear posterior system and Injection mold?
•    Using sonic preparation for conservative designs and the protection of the adjacent teeth and restorations
Module Four: Indirect Posterior Composite Techniques
Would you like to add indirect posterior composite resins to your practice, but you don't want to invest huge sums of money in a CAD/CAM system?

When a patient presents with a large restoration wanting it replaced, how do you choose between a direct composite, indirect composite, or an indirect porcelain? What if you do not own a scanner or a CAD/CAM? Can you create value, and a beautiful indirect restoration in one appointment using a simple and cheaper solution? How can this be done in an efficient, economical, and profitable manner?

 This module will teach you a step-by-step indirect posterior composite technique with live video of an actual patient, that can be incorporated immediately into your practice. This technique can pay for the entire PCM course with the first restoration. 

What PCM members will learn:
•    Fabricating larger Indirect posterior composites on a flexible silicone model instead of CAD/CAM or lab fabrications.
•    Which materials to use for the silicone model.
•    Which composite and luting materials to use.
•    Step-by step fabrication techniques and workflow.
•    Bonding your indirect composite restorations.
•    Finishing and polishing these restorations.
