Introduction to Injection Molding and the Bioclear Technique for Composites

Course Overview

In today’s world of implants and computer assisted ceramics, direct composites can offer a compelling minimally invasive alternative that will meet patients’ needs and exceed their expectations.  The Bioclear Method allows you to create predictable repeatable outcomes that look natural when using composite.

The Bioclear Method is a dental technique that allows for smile enhancements with minimal tooth removal compared to traditional methods like veneers or crowns.  It offers patients a minimally invasive approach, resulting in long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing composite restorations that can address issues like gaps, chips, and discoloration, while preserving a significant amount of natural tooth structure. 

Esthetic treatments including diastema closure, black triangle closure, Class II, III and IV composite restorations are just the start of what can be done with the increasingly popular Bioclear Method.

In this live, and lively, 1 day / 7-hour session, you will be introduced to the benefits of Bioclear, practice techniques on soft-tissue dentiforms, and come away with the basic skills and understanding needed as a precursor to performing the Bioclear Method for patients.
