Introduction
One of the most difficult techniques to master in esthetic dentistry is direct
composite bonding. This year we have modified our two day hands-on workshop
to teach the fundamentals of 3-D tooth contouring as well as the techniques to master anterior direct composite bonding. Anterior direct bonding requires an understanding of materials and smile design along with individual esthetic artistry in order to achieve optimal results. The program will provide a unique step-by-step technique approach to both 3-D contouring and anterior direct bonding. It has taken several years to develop this two-day course and this course is a must for AACD accreditation candidates.
