The Big Six

Instructor: Maarten de Beer During this two-day hands-on course, Maarten de Beer (@thedentaldutchman) will guide you through the world of high-quality composite restorations in the anterior region. The demand for aesthetic restorations continues to grow, and patients are becoming increasingly critical in their expectations. To support you in this area, this course focuses on the “Big Six”: the six most common and clinically relevant indications for anterior composite restorations. Among other things, you will learn: How to predictably close diastemas; the anatomical build-up of conical teeth and worn teeth; and how to create a natural multi-layer angular build-up. In addition, extensive attention is given to shade selection, proper layering techniques, and the careful finishing and polishing of your restorations. The course is highly hands-on: you’ll practice extensively with realistic cases so you can apply the techniques directly in the clinic. Step by step, you’ll learn how to use the right techniques and materials to create beautiful composite restorations that excel in both function and aesthetics.
