Course Overview

This comprehensive course, led by Drs. Harris and Venuti, guides you to predictable and long-lasting posterior restorations. Beyond basic techniques, learn to master treatment planning, biomechanics, material selection, and patient management.

Learn to:

  • Plan with Patient Autonomy: Balance patient needs with treatment goals; manage complex wear, cracks, caries, and financial factors.
  • Apply Golden Rules: Maximize ferrule, retention, and bonding for predictable outcomes.
  • Optimize Materials & Techniques: Choose appropriate materials, master injection techniques and patient comfort.
  • Master Isolation: Refine rubber dam and matrixing techniques for predictable restorations.
  • Execute Class II Restorations: Learn step-by-step protocols, cavity design, and fracture mechanics.
  • Manage Soft Tissue: Utilize vertical prep protocols for optimal results.
  • Prioritize Minimal Intervention: Embrace bonding and predictable techniques.
  • Refine Workflow: Implement efficient protocols for long-term success.

You'll gain the ability to:

  • Confidently plan complex posterior cases.
  • Apply evidence-based techniques.
  • Optimize materials and biomechanics.
  • Master isolation and restorative protocols.
  • Provide predictable, lasting results.
  • Elevate your posterior dentistry and provide exceptional patient care.
