Basic to complex: detection, isolation, excavation, adhesion, margin elevation
About This Event
This live-stream course provides a comprehensive, evidence-based review of adhesive restorative procedures — from tooth preparation and caries excavation through isolation, adhesive selection and composite technique, concluding with indications and the protocol for margin elevation (relocating subgingival margins). Attendees will learn what we are bonding to, how to manage isolation challenges, which adhesive and composite strategies produce the best outcomes, and step-by-step protocols to elevate margins predictably. The course is delivered virtually (watch live or via recording) and includes a 30-day recording access for single purchase (longer access for All Access+ or Season Pass members). Instructor: Augusto Robles, DMD, MS. CE: 3 hours (250L Operative Dentistry). Live stream date/time: December 5, 2025, 10:00 AM–1:00 PM EST. Tuition: $249.
