Posterior Composite Bonding: Bioclear (Dominic Hassall Training Institute)

Dominic Hassall Training Institute's two-day course teaches posterior composite restoration with the Bioclear Method. Claire Burgess combines teaching with exercises on soft-tissue models, covering routine Class II work, cracked teeth, subgingival cavities and direct cuspal protection.

Posterior practical exercises

Delegates work on soft-tissue models to develop Class II contacts and embrasures, multiple-restoration strategies and Calla Lily preparations. Further exercises address cracked teeth, direct cuspal overlays, root-filled teeth and subgingival margins. Selective caries removal and the modified Hall approach form part of the teaching.

Materials and methods

Practical work uses HeatSync heaters, 3M Filtek One Bulk Fill, posterior and deep-margin Bioclear Evolve matrices, and the adjustable push-pull instrument for contact formation. Biofilm removal, injection moulding, two-stage polishing connect preparation with finishing.

Small-group teaching allows questions and feedback. Materials and supporting literature are included, with an optional four-month interest-free payment plan.
