Abstract
Elevate your anterior composite restorations from routine to remarkable. This 2-day intensive program combines evidence-based lectures with hands-on training to give you full mastery over both basic and advanced techniques. From treatment planning and pre-restorative therapies to the artistry of shade selection, layering, finishing, and polishing — you’ll learn how to achieve predictable, highly esthetic results in everyday practice. Guided step by step, you’ll practice diastema closures, dark triangle corrections, fracture repairs, and direct veneers on anterior teeth. Whether you’re refining your fundamentals or pushing your skills to the next level, this course will equip you with the confidence and precision to deliver anterior restorations that truly stand out.
