This course focuses on understanding why quadrant/adjacent composite restorations can be so challenging, frustrating, and inefficient. We will explore how case selection, preparation design, matrix selection, and wedging impact this challenging procedure. Dr. Burton will also demonstrate how to have and incorporate multiple Plan Bs for every situation. Finally, we will understand the important roles that creativity and engineering play in this vital dental practice procedure.
