| Objective |
The objective of the course is to give an update to the participants about composite techniques in the posterior as well as in the anterior area. The course will give practical and scientific information about classical former techniques compare to the latest developments in composite science. It will describe step by step an improved layering technique with its advantages and disadvantages. Posible modifications, typical mistakes and their correction, tips and tricks will be presented. |
| |
| Course Outlines |
A lecture of around 1 hour 30 minutes will present the topic, clinical cases, problems associated with the materials, limitations of the techniques and the possible modern solutions will be given. After the break, a hands-on course about posterior restorations will be done. After the lunch another 1 hour 30 minutes lecture will be given, covering all the aspects related to an anterior composite restoration. After the break, a Class IV composite restoration will be done by the participants in an highly esthetic model giving a really patients-like experience. At the end, an unemotional, down to earth analysis will confront the direct with the indirect technique. |

| Biography |
Dr. Mahn is a graduate from the University of Chile, School of Dentistry. He received the German DDS in Münster, Westfalen Lippe one year later. The New York University College of Dentistry certified him as Implantologist in 2007. Since 2006 he is involved in research and development of dental materials, specially zirconia implants at the University of Münster and Düsseldorf, Germany. He published his doctorate thesis in 2008 titled “Osseointegration of zirconia implants, an in vivo study”. Between 2007 and 2009 he worked for Ivoclar Vivadent at the ICDE (International Center for Dental Education), Schaan, Liechtenstein and he is presently a guest lecturer at the University Andres Bello, Santiago, Chile. |
