Compostie placement
Andy Denny describes a simplified approach taken in a recent case.
Style Italiano is a collaboration of recognised dental specialists with a passion for composites. The organization was founded by Prof Angelo Putignano with the world renowned composite expert, Walter De Voto. Their goal is to teach dentists a simplified composite layering technique without compromising quality or aesthetics. The aim was to provide dentists with a simplified composite layering technique, using only two shades that any dentist can carry-out using well researched shade recipes, without compromising on aesthetics.
With a thorough understanding of the complexities involving hue, chroma and value we can blend all the available components available for multi-layering techniques to give beautiful ideal results for direct restorations in the anterior aesthetic zone. This, however, takes time, practice and expertise, and is not predictable except in the hands of a few, hence the goal to simplify the process. Using analysis of shade and materials thickness they devised a two-layer shade system using simple instrumentation for precise and optimal reproduction, using 3M/ESPEs Filtek Supreme composite.
