Anterior aesthetics: the complete composite guide

– Indications and contra-indications for direct composite restorations

– Intraoral analysis and treatment planning (golden ratio for aesthetic restorations)

– Principles of minimally invasive anterior restorations

– Pre-restorative procedures for minimally invasive and non-invasive restorations (aligners, bleaching, resin infiltration (ICON), microabrasion, gingival alignment).

Recommended for: Restorers, General dentists.
