This isn’t your typical composite webinar. Dr. John Gammichia, a full-time private practice dentist, practices in the real world - where patients fracture cusps and can’t always afford a build-up and onlay or crown. So what’s the solution - extract the tooth? Or consider a beautifully executed 2-, 3-, 4-, or even 5-cusp composite restoration?
We’ll begin with foundational Class I and Class II restorations, reviewing adhesion principles and current biomimetic concepts. From there, we’ll build your skills and confidence. How do you approach large restorations? Deep decay? Cases that are both extensive and deep? What about cracks?
We’ll also address the practical concerns: What are the barriers to practicing this way? Do these restorations last? Can this approach be profitable?
This CE webinar will be engaging and thought-provoking but expect to be pushed outside your comfort zone. Dr. Gammichia intends to challenge your thinking. By the end, you’ll be saying, "Holy Cow! I Didn't Know You Could do that with Composite.
This is not your father's composite webinar. Dr. John Gammichia, a full time private practice dentist, lives in the real world. A world where people break cusps and can't afford a build-up and onlay/crown. So what do you do? Pull it?! How about an exquisite 2,3,4 or 5 cusp composite restoration? Of course, we will start with the class I and the class II restorations. We will of adhesion and some of the current biomimetic philosophy. Then we will build from this knowledge. How do you handle uncomfortably big restorations or deep decay? How about big AND deep restorations? How about cracks? Lastly, we will discuss your obstacles to this type of dentistry...do they last or can I make any money doing dentistry this way? This CE webinar will be fun but Dr. Gammichia wants you to feel a little uncomfortable...you will be challenged. By the end of the webinar you will be saying "Holy Cow! I Didn't Know You Could do that with Composite."
This CE webinar opens your mind to the endless possibilities of composite. If you have a superior bond, then you can do anything. Dr. Gammichia will walk you through doing a 2, 3,4 and 5 cusp posterior restoration. Hey, it’s the real world out there and when you tell someone they need a crown, what do you do if they can’t afford it? Let’s restore it with composite. How about the huge deep hole in a tooth? Can all your patients afford an RCT and core and a crown? Start to think outside of the box and treat these patients more conservatively. The restorations are beautiful, less expensive for the patients (very profitable for you) and they last for decades.
For those wondering- what ever happened to the plain ol posterior composite-where did it go? For the last ten years it has been lapped by all the en vogue dentistry such as: all ceramic crowns, CAD-CAM, digital impressions, going paperless. In this webinar, the WOW will be brought back to the simple filling!
