What You Will Learn

In this masterclass, Dr Duran will cover:

  • How to use 3D controls to refine final tooth position with confidence

  • The difference between torque, angulation, tip, and in-out movements

  • When and why to manually adjust aligner setups

  • How to create more predictable finishing positions

  • Common mistakes dentists make when using 3D controls and how to avoid them

“When aligner companies first introduced 3D controls, I spent countless hours in front of the screen and lost a few kilos from pure frustration. Almost nobody explained how to actually use them, even though they were the key to getting the final tooth positions right.

I had to figure it out the hard way, case by case. Now, finishing a setup takes me 20 minutes at most, and that is exactly what I want to teach you in this masterclass.”

Anterior Composite: Shape, Polish & Light - Practical Strategies for Predictable Aesthetic Success

with Dr. Sam Cope

 

Anterior composites rarely fail because of the material. They fail because of shape and light.

Small errors in line angles, contour and surface texture can make restorations look dull or artificial, even when shade and bonding are correct.

In this masterclass, Dr Sam Cope will share a practical framework for controlling shape, polish and light reflection to create natural, predictable anterior composites across different systems.

Clear principles. Repeatable decisions. More consistent aesthetic results.

By the end of this masterclass, you will be able to:

  • Identify why anterior composites look dull or unnatural

  • Control light reflection through shape and surface design

  • Improve polish and finishing for long-term aesthetics

  • Achieve faster, more consistent outcomes

“Early in my career, I believed aesthetic success came from using the ‘right’ composite or layering technique. Yet despite good bonding and accurate shade selection, some restorations still looked dull or unnatural. The turning point came when I shifted my focus from materials to shape, surface texture and light interaction. By simplifying my approach and understanding why restorations looked wrong, my results became far more predictable and efficient. This lecture reflects those lessons from practice and teaching.”
