The Nash Institute for Dental Learning with 
NCAGD Art and Science of Comprehensive Dentistry (Mastertrack) Program presents
Mastertrack Restorative Module
August 13-14, 2010
In recent years dental technology has made great strides in the development of esthetic, conservative, tooth reinforcing restorations. Our program will present an update on the latest composite resin restorative materials and techniques that are being used for direct dental restorations. We combine didactic learning with hands-on participation workshops. This level of training allows the practitioners to confidently and competently incorporate these techniques within their practice. By understanding the restorative indications, as they are related to predictability, esthetics, function, and longevity of the restoration, our participants will learn how to evaluate new techniques for restoring tooth morphology and proper occlusion and function for maximum force distribution are covered.
  • During the hands-on participation, conservative tooth preparation, as well as simplified and predictable placement techniques will be performed. Participants will see how the use of flowables can prevent marginal discrepancies.
  • The anterior “full bonded veneers” will include layering for internal development of tooth shade and value along with advanced finishing techniques for a vital appearance.
  • The posterior resin hands-on topics will include, matrixing techniques to ensure proimal contact, as well as use of sculptables, packables and current polishing materials.

In summary, our course includes all aspects of the composite resin restoration, as well as when to include these restorations in modern treatment planning.

Assignments for those participants wanting credits toward mastership in the AGD, will be given at the end of the course unless otherwise arranged.

Shared perspective from one of our participants:

When I chose to participate in the initial Mastertrack Program offered by the NCAGD, little did I realize the professional impact this program would have upon me and my dental practice… From the first weekend of three seminars, I was able to bring back to my office information and techniques that have raised not only the quality of care I can offer my patients, but have also made dentistry more fun and innovative for me…we had the opportunity for intimate question and answer periods, friendly debate among peers, lecture, and hands on experience from both nationally known and the younger up and coming dental experts…Some hands on procedures we learned, such as free autogenous grafts, will still be better performed by my local periodontist, but I now have a better understanding of not only what criteria to look for, but what he has to do to achieve the result both my patient and I are anticipating.  My hope is that more AGD members will take advantage of this diamond opportunity to improve their skills and knowledge.
