Insights into the world of composite corrections and maintenance.

Being able to modify and maintain composites might change your vision in restorative dentistry. Walter Devoto brings together 28 years of experience in achieving outstanding composites and in highlighting how composite can change one’s vision in dentistry, even when doing prosthodontics and mouth rehabilitations. This includes how to keep them healthy over time and how to make them “last forever”.

Different levels of composite correction and our maintenance protocol:
Level 1 correction (margin correction)
Level 2 correction (enamel replacement)
Level 3 correction (incisal edge correction)
