Expanding Clinical Applications with Flowable Composites
Educational Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify the broad range of clinical indications for flowable composites beyond traditional uses.
- Differentiate between cases where flowables are preferred versus conventional composite resins.
- Demonstrate techniques for using flowables in Class I–VI restorations, sealants, and as cavity liners.
- Apply flowable composites for esthetic procedures, including luting and masking under porcelain veneers, diagnostic mock-ups, and long-term provisionals.
- Utilize flowable composites in complex restorative scenarios such as core build-ups, splinting, orthodontic bonding, and fiber post cementation.
- Implement flowables in repair procedures and non-vital bleaching cases for improved clinical outcomes.
Abstract
Flowable composites have evolved well beyond their early reputation as simple liners or sealants. Join us for a practical and insightful webinar that explores the full range of clinical uses for today's advanced flowable materials — from pit and fissure sealants to core build-ups, splinting, bonding orthodontic brackets, and more.
This session will cover a wide variety of real-world applications, including Class I–VI restorations, cervical lesions and erosion repair, diagnostic mock-ups and fragment reattachment, luting and masking for porcelain veneers, repair of bis-acryl provisionals, bonding fiber posts and orthodontic brackets, and non-vital bleaching and restoration repairs.
Whether you're looking to improve efficiency, expand your procedural options, or refine your aesthetic outcomes, this webinar will provide actionable insights and techniques for using flowables across multiple disciplines.
