Hirata’s tooth bonding art Adhesive composite restorations: concepts and technique
Professor Ronaldo Hirata and osteocom are pleased to introduce “Hirata’s tooth bonding art”, a unique OnLine Video Course dedicated to adhesive composite restorations.

“Hirata’s tooth bonding art” web series comprises lectures, clinical demonstrations and detailed hands-on training videos, with the aim of providing the learner with the latest indications on composite restoration strategies.
The program embraces the fundamental techniques for composite layering (dentin/chromatic/achromatic enamel), both for anterior and posterior restorations, as well as the modified low shrinkage composite technique using fewer layers and the use of simplified esthetic composite systems.
The didactic approach chosen by the Author – Professor Ronaldo Hirata – sees a thorough step-by-step description of each technique addressed, comprising an analysis of the rationale and the challenges posed by their application.
The concepts behind adhesive restoration strategies and how to avoid post-operative sensitivity are addressed in dedicated mono-thematic lectures.
Different anterior restoration strategies and techniques are carefully portrayed through clinical demonstrations and hands-on training videos, offering the learner the possibility to immediately replicate the approaches shown by Professor Hirata.
The results of the research on conducted at the NYU on polymers analysis, biomechanical behavior of restorative materials and dental adhesives analysis are also presented.
Learning Objectives:

Recognize those clinical situations where composites provide the best advantages in terms of low invasivity and estethics.
Get a deeper understanding of the various approaches made available by adhesive systems and learn how to put them in action.
Find out how to avoid post-operative sensitivity.
Master traditional layering procedures.
Comprehend the most innovative simplified composite techniques, involving the use of bulk fill composites, simplified bonding systems and new composites

By enrolling in this training course, you’ll get the opportunity to understand, deepen and master different aspects:

differences between the adhesive systems available on the market today – conventional, self-conditioning, and universal – and how to correctly choose between them
use of phosphoric acid on dental enamel
matrix and wedge systems for class II restorations
cosmetic conturing
prophylaxis, modified isolation, waxing, silicone index, and layering protocols
the leading causes of failure in restoration fractures
enamel hypoplasia causes and solutions
composite layering technique
finishing, polishing, texturing
incisal edge adjustment, midline and symmetry between central incisors
staining technique for the anatomy of the cusps
mirror areas edge and proximal contact fit
causes for sensitivity, how to intercept them through the correct protocol, and how to treat it
immediately after identifying the operative failure
layering technique: opaque halo, effect resin, dentin, and enamel
use of aluminum oxide sandblasting, acid etching, and adhesive systems
how to exchange an unsatisfactory restoration with Bulk Fill Flow resin composites

The Osteocom Hirata’s Tooth Bonding Art – Adhesive Composite Restorations Concept and Technique program is best for dentists, restorative specialists, and prosthodontists who want to refine their skills in adhesive composite restorations with an emphasis on esthetics, precision, and artistry. It is designed around Dr. Hirata’s internationally recognized approach to composite bonding, blending science with artistic technique.
