OTF medlemskurs 3. mars 2026: Direct posterior composite restorations, are there any limits?
Direct posterior composite restorations, are there any limits?
Placement of direct posterior composite restorations is core business of dental practitioners. Om social media it seems that the gold standard are perfectly placed small sized restorations with coloured fissures, however, often placed in doubtfull indications. But what about large defects on endo treated teeth?, all cusps lost? Subgingival margins? Do we need to go indirect then or can we still succesfully place direct restorations? Niek Opdam will show that there are almost no limits in placement of posterior composites, but at the same time will adress the risk factors determining succes.
In this lecture a list of topics will be discussed:
• Choice of materials and adhesives to place reliable posterior composites
• Factors determining restoration longevity
• What is more important: longevity of the restoration or longevity of the tooth?
• Direct composites for large and/or complex posterior defects
• Complex direct posterior composites: tips and tricks regarding matrix applience, composite application, contact points, finishing etc.
