The MiCD movement is being adopted by clinicians the world over by successfully integrating Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Dentistry in their practice. Minimally invasive techniques and principles have revolutionised the approach to cosmetic dentistry which is traditionally known to be more invasive. The MiCD concept promotes the conservation of sound tooth structure while achieving predictable smile aesthetics and imparting a positive psychological impact on the patient.

Synopsis
Hands-On Synopsis
Direct resin reconstruction of the severely compromised anterior dentition is one of the more difficult challenges of clinical dentistry. The anterior dentition can present in many different shades, opacity and translucency. In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to restore a fractured central incisor on aesthetic dental model that mimics the anatomy of natural teeth. They will not only learn the “ONE” layers protocol using Beautifil direct resin composite but will have the opportunity to contour and finish the restoration to a life-like finish. At the end of the session they should have a greater appreciation of how to blend the different resins to achieve an aesthetic outcome and understand a simplified method of finishing a direct anterior restoration.
