Composite dentistry has evolved and for many clinicians, it’s time to rethink what’s possible.
This intensive, hands-on Participation Series course is designed to move beyond theory and into real-world execution. Building on the concepts introduced throughout the Composite Unleashed virtual lecture series, Dr. John Gammichia guides participants through the clinical philosophy, decision-making, and technical skills required to successfully perform complex direct composite restorations in everyday practice.
Participants will reinforce foundational principles before progressing into the management of larger, deeper, and more complex cases. Through guided exercises and hands-on application, attendees will develop the ability to approach multi-cusp restorations, cracked teeth, and post-endodontic cases with greater confidence, precision, and predictability.
Common misconceptions surrounding durability, risk, and profitability are addressed throughout the course, providing participants with a practical framework for integrating advanced composite techniques into daily clinical workflows.
By the end of the day, participants will not only understand what is possible with composite, they will have the skills and confidence to begin doing it.
