Case description

POV: You spend a fortune on a composite anatomy course and are excited to implement on Monday morning. However, every time you apply those concepts, you end up drilling it away because it’s proud in the occlusion! It essentially now looks like a tooth coloured version of the amalgam you just removed! Your nurse’s eyes are like pools of fire - that’s half her lunch break gone. This happens a few more times until you realise that you’re missing a trick… Enter this podcast to save your career! ;)

Dr Jaz Gulati and Dr Mahmoud Ibrahim (IG:@drmoidental) will teach you how to radically minimize adjustments on your daily restorations.

Key Takeaways:

Always check the patient's occlusion before starting any restoration.

Utilize shim stock to ensure accurate occlusal contacts post-restoration.

Pre-op visual checks are crucial for successful composite placement.

Don't compromise on the anatomy of the restoration for aesthetics.

Use thinner articulating paper for more precise occlusal markings.

Communicate effectively with your dental nurse about new protocols.

Involve your senses to assess the quality of your restorations.

Document occlusal marks pre and post-restoration for reference.

Adjustments should be minimal if pre-op checks are thorough.

Educate patients about their occlusion to manage expectations.

Dentists will be able to:

1. Evaluate and manage occlusion during posterior composite restorations, ensuring that patient bite and interdigitation are maintained post-procedure.

2. Effectively use shim stock foil and articulating paper to achieve precise contact points and occlusal balance, minimizing the need for post-restoration adjustments.

3. Apply practical techniques, such as using occlusal stamps and soft flex discs, to streamline posterior composite restorations while improving the durability and aesthetics of the final result.
