Direct composite restorations are common but challenging due to placement techniques, interproximal contact, and postoperative sensitivity. Success depends on tooth preparation, material selection, placement technique, and curing method.

This presentation will:

• Explore key factors in decision-making for esthetic, functional, and long-lasting restorations.
• Discuss the single-unit crown procedure, covering preparation design, provisional restoration, impression-making, and cementation options.
• Emphasize improved clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

The program concludes with a hands-on session to:

• Practice techniques and gain confidence in material selection and procedural methods.
• Enhance restorative work quality through practical application and interactive learning.
