F2: Quadrant Composites & The Matrix Revolution:  Fundamentals, Tools & Perfection

Quadrant composite dentistry is difficult, yet it is a major workhorse in our offices every day.  This lecture course focuses on understanding why quadrant / adjacent composite restorations can be so challenging, frustrating, and inefficient. How case selection, preparation design, matrix selection, and wedging impact this challenging procedure will be explored.  In addition, the course will demonstrate how having the right tools, combined with execution, unlocks the door to success in quadrant composite restorations. A new technology, aimed directly at conquering adjacent Class II composite quadrant restorations, which may help us streamline this procedure, will be introduced and demonstrated.

Educational Objectives:

• Identify the challenges involved in quadrant direct composite dentistry.
• Understand how to efficiently and effectively treatment plan for quadrant dentistry.
• Explore the importance of having the proper tools to achieve excellence.
• Demonstrate restorative techniques that streamline workflow in quadrant direct composites.
