Composite Bonding Course (2-Day Hands-On)

Ian Cline's DENTER course combines online preparation with two practical days on anterior and posterior direct composites. Exercises cover shade, isolation, Class IV restorations, diastemas, black triangles, posterior contacts, anatomy and polishing.

Groups are limited to sixteen, with individual feedback. Instruments, materials, lunches and refreshments are provided, with three years' access to online resources. Bring loupes and clinical eyewear; arrange your own travel and accommodation.

The fee is GBP 1,280. The London page and date selector now include 14-15 May 2027. Earlier advertised runs are retained below as history; confirm availability before relying on an older date. Dundee dates conflict between the page heading and selector, so confirm before travel. The current page advertises 16 ECPD hours, replacing this listing's earlier 20-hour figure; confirm the award for your chosen intake and VAT treatment.

Preparation and practical workflow

Allow around two to three hours of online preparation for each practical day. The portal includes procedure walkthroughs, PDFs, manuals and references, with access retained for three years. Two instructors support a maximum of sixteen delegates, with individual feedback and time to repeat exercises.

Anterior work covers dentine and enamel shades, opacity, translucency and material thickness; Class IV preparation and layering; incisal effects; diastema contacts; black-triangle emergence profiles; line angles and surface texture. Posterior work develops proximal contacts, marginal ridges and occlusal anatomy. White spots, local colour discrepancies and clinical photography for shade assessment and records are also included.

Included arrangements

Instruments, materials, lunches and refreshments are supplied, along with a Friday evening meal at a nearby hotel. Bring loupes and usual clinical eyewear; travel and accommodation are separate. Arrival is from 9am, teaching starts at 9:30am, lunch is 1–2pm and the day ends around 5pm.

The London venue is Thistle London Holborn, Bloomsbury Way, WC1A 2SD. Dundee teaching is at Wrights Education Hub, Dunsinane Avenue, Kingsway West, DD2 3QD; the conflicting Dundee dates still need confirmation before booking.
