OHI-S Occlusion-driven stress-reduced direct composite (SRDC)

2 lessons (3h 14min)

The main question of the online course: HOW TO MAKE YOUR ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR DIRECT RESTORATIONS THE MOST DURABLE AND FUNCTIONAL. All reports will highlight this issue! We will speak about occlusion of the future restorations with its methods of modelling, adhesion and post-endo rehabilitation. The mechanism of occlusion-driven stress-reduced direct composite (SRDC) and the mock up element will be also explained along with the question of a more reasonable preparation in a direct restoration. All reports will be helpful in creation of functional and durable direct restorations.

The OHI‑S Occlusion‑Driven Stress‑Reduced Direct Composite (SRDC) course is best for restorative dentists, prosthodontists, and general practitioners who want structured, training in advanced composite restoration techniques that minimize occlusal stress and maximize longevity. It emphasizes evidence‑based protocols for direct composite restorations in both posterior and anterior teeth, focusing on functional stability and aesthetic excellence.

Who Should Enroll
Restorative dentists & general practitioners performing direct composite restorations and seeking predictable, long‑lasting results.
Prosthodontists rehabilitating patients with complex occlusal demands where stress‑reduced composites are critical.
Endodontists restoring teeth after root canal therapy with occlusion‑driven composite techniques.
Periodontists considering occlusal forces in periodontal stability and restorative planning.
Dental technicians collaborating on restorative workflows where occlusal design impacts composite success.
Residents & fellows in restorative dentistry, prosthodontics, or endodontics seeking advanced composite training.
What You’ll Learn
SRDC principles: how occlusion drives stress distribution in composite restorations.
Layering techniques: protocols to reduce shrinkage stress and improve marginal integrity.
Posterior restorations: evidence‑based workflows for molars and premolars under heavy occlusal load.
Anterior restorations: achieving aesthetics while maintaining functional stability.
Complication prevention: minimizing fractures, marginal leakage, and postoperative sensitivity.
Case‑based lessons: real examples of occlusion‑driven composite restorations with long‑term outcomes.

+ Topics:

Lesson 1.Occlusion-driven stress-reduced direct composite (SRDC). Adhesion: what’s new and what works? Management of occlusal stress in structurally compromised teeth. Part 1

This lecture will introduce the stress-reduced direct composite (SRDC) protocol to predictably restore structurally compromised posterior teeth using a minimally invasive approach. The goal is to maximize the bond and reduce the stress to mimic the functional and optical characteristic of the natural dentition.

Introduction to the Deliperi Protocol: The cycle of tooth preservation vs «The tooth Cycle of death».

Bonding to dentin and enamel: what’s new and what it works? Adhesive systems review and selection, etchrinse vs self-etching vs universal systems.

Guidelines for SRDC restorations (Deliperi et al, 2012):

• Analysis of the occlusion and opposing dentition;

• Cavity preparation and caries removal endpoints;

• Analysis of residual tooth structure;

• Preparation of the dental substrate to achieve a reliable bond to enamel and dentin;

• Control of polymerization stresses by using appropriate layering and curing techniques;

• Occlusal force equilibration. MO, MOD and cusp replacing restorations via SRDC restorations:
