Prof. Edward Lynch:
Many of the latest evidenced-based methods to do better, faster and more profitable clinical dentistry
Managing deep carious lesions
When to leave infected dentine in deep cavities
When to use glass ionomer cements
Which glass ionomer cements can remineralise caries and why

Unique, simple and effective home pharmacological adjuncts for the prevention and management of caries and periodontal disease.
SDF (silver diamine fluoride) is becoming the global gold standard for caries management.
A technique for applying KI (potassium iodide) to SDF that not only prevents staining, is faster to apply and has twice the fluoride release of SDF into a tooth.
Create a seal, impenetrable to bacteria, at the cavo-surface margins
Painless, stress reducing caries management for children, largely avoiding the harmful consequences of general anesthesia
Techniques for the restoration of interproximal caries with minimal tooth preparation required and saving the important marginal ridge.BOK NOW at:
Adhesive techniques for chemically bonding GIC to composite resin and how to triple the bond strength of GIC to enamel and dentin.
Learn a revolutionary “Open Sandwich” technique using composite and GIC for class II restorations that is super fast yet prevents exposed glass ionomer from
breaking down in the proximal area.
New fibre techniques to improve the retention and strength of composite resin, RMGIC and GIC
Many small clinical techniques that dentist’s share with each other that simplify everyday treatment protocols.
Occlusion, what’s important to know for the restorative dentist.

Other seminars where Dr. Bertolotti will be presenting:
International Webinar, our first one!
Round #1 was completed very successfully with world wide registrations from as far as Lebanon and Spain. If you missed it, we arranged a combined ticket which allows you to watch the first webinar replay at your leisure. Viewing the first round makes the second round a better learning experience. Our "Round 2" was also very successful and if you missed it, again there is a combined ticket option. Now Round 3 is scheduled, as announced below.
When you click on either of the links below, you will have the option to purchase to view the previous two recorded rounds (I highly recommend for the best learning experience) or a regular ticket for the November 7 LIVE webinar for a very affordable US$63. We have been told that our tuition is "an unbeatable value". Yes, that is what we intended, recognizing our difficult economic times.
Stay Bonded,
Ray

Following the presentations, you will have the opportunity for a live Q & A interaction, with Geoff, Ray and Graeme.... these will also be recorded and sent out as a reference after the event.
Here is some more fantastic feedback from the first & second Controversial Clinical Concepts webinar presentations.
"I watched CCC I in the afternoon after the LIVE morning session of CCC 2 Quite an intense day but what fabulous information".
"Thank you for all the hard work you do to provide these programs for us who are followers of the men who are pioneers of innovation in our profession".
"I would like to share with you and them an observation I have made over the years practicing as they, and many others of us do. And that is: I do not go through nearly as many diamond and carbide enamel removing drills! That's an observable result of our conservative practices".
“It is truly amazing to have such a great, accredited educational experience available to all. In these economic times, the tuition charged, an unbeatable value, is much appreciated. Thank you to all”.
