The day will begin with a brief review of tooth morphology, armamentarium used for restorative dentistry,  instrumentation and basic principles, dental materials  used in restorative dentistry,  proper occlusion and tooth relationships, and placing and finishing composite and amalgam restorations.

Clinical faculty will demonstrate procedures and you will practice with instruments on typodonts provided.

3. The importance of and how to select wedges
4. How to condense amalgam fillings and thier properties
