A dark tooth still poses an incredible aesthetic challenge for clinicians. In module 1, Sanjay Sethi uses his incredible experience to discuss protocols for internal whitening, comparing cases of direct or indirect restorations, and looks at the relative advantages and disadvantages to help you with decision making in your daily dentistry.

Learning objectives:

• Internal Whitening – risks, benefits, and a full protocol

• Masking colours with prosthetic precision

• Direct vs Indirect approaches

Deep caries and fractures have always provided a significant technical challenge for dentists. Deep margin elevation has revolutionised the way we treat subgingival margins, but it has its limits. This lecture by Nik Sethi outlines the protocols, compares clinical cases, and looks at a strategy for planning management to help with your daily dentistry

Learning objectives:

• Pathway for decision making with deep sub gingival margins

• Deep margin elevation vs crown lengthening

• Full protocol for deep margin elevation

• Material Selection and evidence for success/failures

There are a wide variety of techniques and protocols that exist within the conservative onlay field. As such this has led to a questionable long term success rate with high incidences of marginal staining and premature debonding. Furthermore, clinicians still struggle with managing occlusion when restoring a quadrant. Riaz Yar and Nik Sethi have created an evidence based approach which combines an easy occlusal assessment and a clear preparation protocol to give clinicians confidence to rehabilitate single teeth and manage quadrant dentistry with a high level of accuracy.

Learning objectives:

• Occlusal morphology and chewing cycle

• Re-thinking margin design according to maximum contour line

• Pre-operative occlusal checks

• Protocol for preparation, IDS and mini core build up

In part two of the FIPO protocol we cover adhesive protocols for success with composite resin and also discuss isolation with rubber dam. Riaz then finishes with a precision approach to occlusal adjustments to ensure we achieve accurate occlusal contacts without destroying our lovely anatomy!

Learning objectives:

• Isolation protocol for onlay cementation -tubber dam and tewflon

• Cementation with heated vs dual cure composite

• Identifying correct contacts and creating occlusal stability

• Adjusting contacts with precision

Despite decades of service in dentistry, resin composite restorations are still a technique sensitive procedure with evidence showing one in 5 class II composites failing at 2 years in general practice. Failure modes include staining, secondary caries, post operative staining, open contacts and difficulty in recreating occlusal anatomy. Elaine Mo goes through the key areas of failure and what tips can help clinicians avoid problems. From use of sectional matrix bands, to using the right instruments and a guide for recreating anatomy, this lecture will give you some golden nuggets to elevate your adhesive dentistry.

Learning objectives:

• Tips and techniques for reproducible predictable aesthetic composite restorations
• Understand current ART theory for caries removal in a minimally invasive way
• Understanding which matrix band to choose and invaluable tips for perfect wedging for contact point management
• A clear strategy for bonding to ensure long term adhesive success

Knowledge is nothing without having the right mindset to effect change in your daily dentistry. In this powerful course by Dhru Shah he breaks down difficult subjects on confidence, communication and establishing your drive to become the best version of yourself and grow as a clinician. Motivation is short term but inspiration creates long term passion. This was the perfect session to finish Elevate 6 and help propel you to clinical and financial success!
