Course Description

Introduction

Mr Style Italiano himself, the founder Walter Devoto, comes to Australia for the first time with Dental ED. Style Italiano is a worldwide movement centred on simplifying the creation of beautiful composite restorations. Rather than focusing on complicated layering techniques and multiple colours. The Style Italiano philosophy involves using simple recipes of just two shades to create beautiful restorations, for both anterior and posterior dentitions which can be reproduced by dentists at all skill levels. The main objective of this hands-on course is to illustrate the properties and use of composite materials in today’s contemporary restorative dentistry concepts. Step-by-step procedures of simple techniques used in conservative restorations of the vital and nonvital teeth will also be reviewed.

The founder of the worldwide popular “Style Italiano”, Walter Devoto, will teach participants, at all skill levels, to create the most beautiful composite restorations in clinical practice. For the first time, this course teaches participants to manage multiple case scenarios in both anterior and posterior restorations, including direct and indirect restorations. This course is an extensive one providing multiple excercise of common clinical scenarios and then using simplified Style Italiano techniques to get amazing quick results.
