Build, Refine, Shine: A Hands-On Workshop on Layering and Polishing Composite Veneers
This workshop aims to provide a comprehensive and evidence-based approach to direct composite veneer fabrication, with a focus on anatomical accuracy, surface texture, and esthetic longevity.
What You Will Learn
1. Tooth Morphology & Texture Creation
Participants will be guided through mastering tooth morphology, including the creation of macro- and micro-textures to replicate natural enamel.
2. Palatal Shell Technique
A stepwise technique for constructing the palatal shell freehand will be demonstrated to ensure proper form and support.
3. Layering Protocol
The layering protocol incorporates a modified Tofflemire matrix strip, allowing for precise interproximal contouring.
4. Esthetic Enhancements
The esthetic impact of halo effects will be discussed, with hands-on application of tints to enhance incisal translucency and character.
5. Finishing & Polishing
The workshop concludes with a practical and predictable finishing and polishing sequence aimed at achieving a high-gloss, natural appearance with durable results.
