On the first day of our course, aesthetic and functional parameters for fracture, diastema and laminate restorations will be analyzed, optical properties of enamel, dentin and modern composite materials will be defined, elements that help in correct color selection, isolation and preparation techniques, matrixing models, single or multiple layering techniques, surface characteristics and finishing techniques will be explained theoretically with case visuals. After theoretical training, rubber dam will be applied to anterior teeth on phantom jaw model in hands-on section. On phantom jaw model, fracture restoration will be created in anterior teeth and the restoration of the fracture by layering technique will be applied step by step from preparation to completion. On the second day of the course, the procedures to be done in clinic for the restoration of diastema and composite laminate will be explained theoretically, from preparation to completion. The use and results of different composite brands will be discussed in an interactive way. After theoretical training, in hands-on section, a diastema will be created between the central teeth on a phantom jaw model and then closed. Then laminate preparation and restoration on central teeth will be done.
