9. Cementation Techniques for Posterior Crowns (1:02:16) This lecture covers the different cementation techniques used in the placement of posterior crowns. It includes a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of different cement materials and techniques, as well as the key considerations in cement selection and placement.
10. Posterior Bridges – Principles and Techniques (1:06:31) This lecture covers the principles and techniques involved in the placement of posterior bridges. It includes a discussion of the different types of bridges and their indications for use, as well as the key considerations in tooth preparation, impression taking, and bridge placement.

This lecture covers the principles and techniques of indirect restorations, specifically crowns and bridges, for posterior dentistry. The presenter discusses the materials used, the steps involved in the preparation of the tooth, the various types of crown and bridge preparations, and the selection of the right type of restoration for each case.

11. “Posterior Composite Artistry” (1:15:04)

In this lecture, the presenter focuses on composite restorations in posterior teeth. The lecture covers the techniques involved in preparing the tooth, bonding the composite material, layering the material, and finishing and polishing the restoration. The presenter also discusses the factors that impact the success of composite restorations in posterior teeth, such as occlusal forces and moisture control.

12. “The Complete Posterior Reconstruction” (1:20:58)

This lecture covers the complete reconstruction of posterior teeth, including full coverage crowns, onlays, and composite restorations. The presenter discusses the factors to consider when selecting the appropriate type of restoration, the techniques involved in preparation and placement of the restoration, and the importance of occlusal adjustment and follow-up care.

13. “The Predictable Posterior” (1:09:58)

The final lecture in the series focuses on achieving predictable outcomes in posterior dentistry. The presenter discusses the principles of tooth preparation, the selection of materials, and the techniques involved in restoring posterior teeth. The lecture also covers the importance of communication with the patient, the use of magnification and illumination, and the role of digital technology in posterior dentistry.

Overall, the Posterior Dentistry Course is a comprehensive resource for dental practitioners looking to enhance their knowledge and skills in treating posterior teeth. The series covers a range of topics, from basic restorations to complete posterior reconstruction, and features experienced presenters who provide practical tips and techniques that can be applied in everyday practice. With a total duration of 13 hours and a file size of 8.2 GB, the course is a substantial investment in continuing education for any dental practitioner looking to expand their skillset in posterior dentistry.
