The aim of this course is to enhance students’ advanced preclinical skills in restorative dentistry and to provide competency in caries management and esthetic restorative procedures in accordance with the principles of minimally invasive dentistry. The course is designed to enable students to plan appropriate restorative treatment strategies for different clinical scenarios, effectively apply isolation techniques, and correctly utilize contemporary restorative materials.
Within this course, current concepts and techniques related to dental ergonomics, caries removal, and restorative procedures are practiced in a preclinical setting. Students gain hands-on experience in rubber dam isolation and the use of contemporary matrix systems. In addition, they perform procedures involving the management of crown fractures, vital pulp therapy (pulp capping), indirect composite restorations, composite laminate veneers, and diastema closure techniques. The course content also covers tissue-preserving preparation principles based on minimally invasive restorative approaches, esthetic restorative procedures, and the clinical applications of contemporary restorative materials. The course aims to develop students’ manual dexterity, material handling skills, esthetic assessment abilities, and overall competency in restorative clinical procedures.
