The guidelines of modern restorative dentistry are adhesion and minimum invasiveness:
•Composite materials are now leading on the market as a permanent and universal restoration solution: there is no treatment planning which does not include the use of composite materials as for sealing, anterior or posterior restoration.
•The perfect knowledge of the advantages and limits of these materials is fundamental for all dentists: a superficial approach to the use of composites may lead to failure and very long chair-work times.
•To know composite materials, nowadays more than ever, means to understand their practical application, to choose the ideal material on the market under the mechanical and aesthetic point of view, to understand when to choose indirect rather than direct technique, to evaluate the use of composites not only in the conservative field, but also in the prosthetic one, both for provisional and permanent solutions.
•All in all, it means to properly plan the patient’s treatment, focusing on the quality of its final result and the working time to reach it. Unfortunately sometimes seems to be really difficult.
•Symplexity is the philosophy "How to create something difficult in a very easy way"
•Aim of the lecture is to show, according to the literature and last materials, in how to obtain high-quality restorations in a predictable and repeatable way.
