Course Abstract:
The lecture looks closely at the optical properties of anterior teeth and how to integrate resin with natural tooth structure to replace both the physical and optical properties of teeth. Layering techniques for Class IV direct resin restorations will be discussed in detail using the latest generation of resin systems.

Direct resins present many challenges that include gradual discoloration of the resin, marginal leakage, difficulty in obtaining a texture match and white lines at the margin. The presentation discusses finishing and polishing techniques that deliver indiscernible Class IV restorations without any shine thru.

Different methods of inserting Class IV’s with matrices and silicone stents will be discussed and demonstrated.

Course Objectives:
1. Tooth preparation for invisible esthetics and durability.
2. Layering to create polychromatism and avoid ’shine thru’.
3. Application of opaquers and colors and tints.
4. Matching the approximal / adjacent teeth.
5. Bonding and finishing technique.
6. Duplicating translucency / Incisal halos.
7. Matching the lustre between resin and natural tooth
