Programme

One day, from planning to polishing.

The eight-hour workshop combines a concise theoretical introduction, a live demonstration and independent work on a typodont. Guided by Dr Smurzyńska, you complete the full anterior composite layering protocol.

01 — Schedule

The structure of the day.

Eight hours of work, from registration and the first coffee to final polishing.

09:00
(30 min)

Welcome and coffee

Participant registration and a practical briefing.

09:30
(90 min)

Materials, layers, application technique

We discuss the types of materials, the selection of layers, the sequence of work and the method of applying the composite.

11:00
(15 min)

Coffee break

A short break for coffee and conversation.

11:15
(90 min)

Live procedure demonstration

The instructor completes the full protocol on a demonstration model, from planning to polishing, while explaining each stage. A live view of the working field is shown on screen.

12:45
(45 min)

Lunch

A meal is served on site for participants.

13:30
(180 min)

Your own workstation

Participants work on typodonts at individual workstations and complete the full layering protocol under the instructor’s supervision. The instructor reviews and corrects each participant’s work at every stage.

16:30
(15 min)

Polishing and final result

You make final adjustments and complete the full polishing protocol.

16:45
(15 min)

Q&A · wrap-up

Questions, certificates and a photographic record of the participants' work.

02 — Protocol

From planning to polishing.

We practise seven steps in sequence, each with a defined clinical objective.

01
Case selection

Patient selection

You assess the clinical and aesthetic conditions as well as the indications for composite modelling in the anterior segment. The treatment plan must reflect the patient’s actual intraoral conditions.

Objective Correct case selection before treatment begins.
02
Setup

Preparation of materials and tools

You select materials for the case, prepare the instruments at your workstation and learn the recommended handling techniques for each instrument.

Objective A prepared workstation before modelling begins.
03
Preparing

Surface preparation and etching

You prepare and etch the enamel surface without reducing tooth tissue.

Objective Enamel ready for adhesion, without tissue loss.
04
Adhesion

Adhesive system

You practise adhesive application, active scrubbing, gentle air drying and polymerisation according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Objective A correct and repeatable adhesive protocol.
05
Modelling

Composite layering

You apply, model and polymerise the composite in sequence, followed by basic characterisation. At every stage you control the anatomy of the restoration.

Objective Modelling consistent with natural tooth anatomy.
06
Characterisation

Characterisation and optical effects

You add optional characterisation and controlled translucency, learning how to distribute the material and integrate it with the final layer.

Objective Reproduction of natural optical characteristics.
07
Polishing

Polishing to a high gloss.

You work through the finishing sequence: contouring with burs, developing surface texture with polishing rubbers, then achieving gloss with discs and paste. We discuss the correct speed and cooling protocol. This stage determines texture, gloss and natural light reflection.

Objective A surface texture and gloss comparable to enamel.
03 — The next step

A course for practitioners.

5 December 2026 · Hotel Binkowski, Kielce · 8 individual workstations. Taught in Polish with an Italian interpreter; another interpreter will be arranged if required by the confirmed group.
