Description:

Aesthetic dental restorative materials are used every day in dental practices.

Post-treatment instructions and patient home care will be discussed so you can help your patients keep their new restorations looking great! Hands-on activities include practice following demonstration about how to properly polish aesthetic dental restorations and avoid damage through material choice. Attendance is limited to 20.
