LIVE VIRTUAL HANDS-ON COURSE FOR MDIB:
Injection Molding and The Bioclear Technique for Composites
Get started with Bioclear and the Bioclear Method—a live, hands-on beginner course. Materials included.
Learn the basics of Bioclear and heated injection molding in a small, interactive online class.
In today’s world of implants and computer assisted ceramics, direct composites can offer a compelling minimally invasive alternative that will meet patients needs and exceed their expectations. The Bioclear Method allows you to create predictable repeatable outcomes that look natural when using composite. Esthetic treatments including diastema closure, black triangle closure, Class II, III and IV composite restorations are just the start of what can be done with the increasingly popular Bioclear Method.
In this live—and lively—7-hour session, you will be introduced to the benefits of Bioclear, practice techniques on soft-tissue dentiforms, and come away with the basic skills and understanding needed as a precursor to performing the Bioclear Method for patients. Course materials are included in the price and will be mailed to you upon registration.
PLEASE NOTE: A handpiece and curing light are not included in this kit, but are necessary for the course. You will need to be in your office for this course.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS
DR. DAVID CLARK
Dr. Clark is the inventor of the Bioclear Method. In his quest to bring composite dentistry out of the nineteenth century, Dr. Clark redefined the way we think about restorative dentistry by developing modern systems and methods for cavity preparations, special matrices, wedges, separators and bonding, restorative and polishing materials and methods. His injection molding technique has created a third modality with Monolithic Restorations.
Dr. Clark founded the Bioclear Clinic and is the director of Bioclear Learning Centers International. He founded the Academy of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry and is on the editorial board for several journals and has lectured in twenty different countries. He holds several U.S. patents integral to the Bioclear Method and Matrix System.
DR. CHARLES REGALADO
Dr. Regalado graduated from the University of Washington in 1991. He has more than twenty years of clinical teaching experience in advanced cosmetic dentistry, advanced composite techniques, and full mouth comprehensive treatments. He has published articles about CAD/CAM dentistry.
