Aims & Objectives

Direct composite restorations are a staple of daily practice, yet complex aesthetic scenarios—such as discoloured substrates and non-vital teeth—often challenge standard protocols. This webinar aims to review the clinical challenges of restoring teeth in the aesthetic zone and explore how to confidently manage these demanding situations.

Dr. Michal Dekel Steinkeller will discuss material selection and introduce predictable layering, masking, and clinical protocols using universal composites and specialized opaquers such as Pink Opaquer, balancing procedural simplicity with high-end aesthetic precision.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Identify and assess the optical challenges of anterior restorations and select the appropriate protocol.
• Utilize universal composites and specialized opaquers to effectively neutralize dark backgrounds without over-contouring the restoration.
• Implement efficient, step-by-step clinical workflows for both routine daily restorations and complex anterior cases to achieve predictable shade matching and lifelike anatomy.

This CPD course meets the criteria for the GDC’s development outcomes C.
