A guide to creating beautiful restorations PRODUCT NEWS 134 BRITISH DENTAL JOURNAL VOLUME 213 NO. 3 AUG 11 2012 DOUBLE ACTION DENTAL PAIN RELIEF A GUIDE TO CREATING BEAUTIFUL RESTORATIONS REFINE YOUR RESTORATIVE SKILLS IN LOVELY LEUVEN Learn how to create possibly the ‘most beautiful composite restoration’ in the historic city of Leuven, Belgium with GC. GC G-aenial is a unique light cured composite that allows you to fabricate natural looking, aesthetic direct restorations. The hands-on G-aenial course shows you how to craft functional composite restorations; even monochromatic restorations become beautiful due to the unique chameleon effect of GC G-aenial. This unique light curable micro-ceramic composite material benefits from those all-important properties such as strength and durability, but unlike other composite materials on the market, GC G-aenial has been developed to look like natural tooth structure. G-aenial’s more natural appearance has been achieved by creating a final restoration of optimum hue, chroma and brightness, whilst minimising the paleness inherent with composites. The result is a restoration with opalescence comparable to porcelains and close to natural teeth, which would previously have been impossible to attain using traditional composite materials. The GC G-aenial course, with ten hours of CPD, includes flights from London Heathrow or Eurostar, transfers to the hotel and training centre, one night’s hotel accommodation, all meals, and all materials, models and equipment. For full details of the G-aenial courses, which are contained within GC’s Training Calendar Booklet, or for further information contact GC UK on 01908 218 999.
