Anterior and Posterior Direct Resin Artistry: Simple. Predictable. Easy

Violife Academy is proud to present Jason Smithson for two days of Anterior and Posterior Direct Resin Artistry.

Direct resins in the anterior and posterior dentition have become a common day-to-day treatment modality, and can produce functional, long lasting and highly aesthetic restorations. The philosophy of the course is to introduce a more simple technique, which results in a highly aesthetic restoration, which is easy to place, with instruments common to all dental offices, using minimal shades of composite resin. The program is extremely practical, user friendly and offers intensive hands-on practice.

DAY 1: POSTERIOR

Hands On: Class 1 and Class 2

DAY2: ANTERIOR

Hands-On: Direct Resin Veneer
