Minimally Invasive Restoration of Severe Tooth Wear with Direct Composite Restorations
Course Objectives:
Abstract-
- Concept of localized or complete build-up of occlusion with direct composite restorations.
- Planning using (digital) study models, intra-oral and extra-oral pictures, and a (digital) diagnostic wax-up.
- The techniques for direct composite build-up will be discussed, including freehand modeling, composite build-up using a silicone index, and the injectable flowable technique.
- Discussion on the durability of such restorations will be covered.
- Hands-on session: Participants will restore 4 worn posterior teeth with composite to the correct occlusal height, Build up using a transparent silicone key and a conventional composite; and the injectable flowable technique.

DDS
Bio:
Marleen Peumans obtained her degree in Dentistry in 1987 at KU Leuven. Thereafter, she followed a 4-year post-graduate program at the Department of Conservative Dentistry. She dedicated herself, particularly to the clinical application of anterior and posterior resin composite restorations, as well as bonded ceramic restorations, fiber-reinforced composite restorations, and bleaching. She took part in numerous clinical studies concerning dental adhesives, posterior composites and ceramic veneers, in- and onlays. In 1997, she obtained the degree of Doctor in Biomedical Sciences. From 2004, she became Professor at KU Leuven. She has several national and international publications on her name concerning clinical performance of adhesive restorations and bleaching. She is a member of the Bio-Emulation Group and the GC Restorative Board.
