Treating the worn dentition with direct resins

Doesn’t everyone see more tooth wear in our patient population?

Do we always open the conversation about it?

Let’s approach the worn dentition in a very practical manner to help the patient the teeth and the dentist. Tooth wear is not going away and patients will always look for minimally invasive options for prevention and interception. Direct composites offer exactly that but ‘How long will it last doc?’

.

Aims and Objectives:

• Discuss the various techniques of resin composite application
  
• Describe the clinical manifestations of tooth wear
  
• What is the clinical performance of composites in tooth wear
  
  

Learning Outcomes:

• To understand the indications of direct resins for the worn dentition
  
• How to plan, execute, consent for and maintain direct composites
