Art and Science in Contemporary Dentistry: Enhance Your Restorative Skills

The Art and Science in Contemporary Dentistry course is designed for dental professionals looking to elevate their proficiency in restorative dental treatments. This contemporary two-day program combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, allowing participants to build their skills and confidence in anterior and posterior restorative procedures.

Course Philosophy and Objectives

At the core of this course is a philosophy that emphasises gradual skill development and confidence-building. Our primary objectives are to enhance clinical proficiency, promote evidence-based practices, and increase clinicians' confidence in various clinical scenarios. By integrating these elements, we aim to empower dental professionals to deliver high-quality restorative care.

Hands-On Training and Interactive Learning

The course features a treatment-focused approach, including interactive demonstrations and discussions that cover various aspects of direct restorations. Participants will engage in practical work within a simulation clinic, utilising high-quality, caries-simulated teeth that closely mimic real-world conditions. This hands-on experience is crucial for mastering the techniques necessary for successful restorative dentistry.

Before the practical sessions, participants will benefit from evidence-based discussions focusing on optimal clinical techniques. These discussions will be complemented by practical demonstrations and instructional videos, ensuring that every participant is well-prepared for the hands-on activities.

In addition to direct restorations, participants can practice using rubber dams in challenging scenarios, which is essential for effective isolation during restorative procedures. The course will also cover the latest advancements in adhesive materials and techniques, including selective etching, universal adhesives, and bulk-fill composites.

Expert Instruction

The course is led by a team of experienced professionals from the Sydney Dental School, headed by Professor Vesna Miletic. Our instructors include clinicians, academics, and educators with extensive expertise in the art and science of restorative dentistry. Their diverse backgrounds ensure participants receive a well-rounded education combining practical skills and theoretical knowledge.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

The hands-on sessions occur in the recently opened Sydney Dental School Simulation Centre, equipped with cutting-edge technology for simulated teaching and learning. This state-of-the-art facility provides a realistic environment for participants to practice their skills, making it an ideal setting for effective learning.
