This is the third in a series of three courses that are designed to teach the etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the disease, dental caries and its squeal, developmental disturbances, and regressive alterations that can occur to the teeth. In this final course the curriculum is tailored to match specific subjects that are the core to the continual improvement of operative dentistry. This curriculum enables the upcoming practicing dentists to expand their skills and knowledge through the available subjects that include: conservative approach, esthetic considerations, non carious lesions, bonding to tooth tissues.

Course outcomes:

a. Knowledge and Understanding:

1-	Conservative approach in restorative dentistry
2-	Compare between Black's principles of extension for prevention and the recent conservative approach
3-	Discuss the main causes that caused the actual shift in the concepts and record the essentials to allow conservative.
4-	Sort the advanced diagnosis tools and the minimal and non-invasive cutting tools required to apply the conservative and biological model of treatment.
5-	Sketch the recent conservative cavity designs and estimate when to be used
6-	- Esthetic consideration on operative dentistry: • List the components of the esthetic formula, causes of esthetic defects and objectives of restoring esthetic • Categories the limiting problems in restoring esthetic and to what extend these problems can be solved. • Describe the mechanism of color perception, and color parameters • List the factors affecting the optical qualities of an object and the requirements for correct color determination • Solve some esthetic problems and plan for esthetic cavity design using different restorative materials and techniques.
7-	- Bonding to tooth tissues : • Define bonding and discriminate between different bonding mechanisms. • List the factors essential for a successful adhesive junction and the requirement for an ideal dentin bonding agent. • Compare between bonding to enamel and bonding to dentin and correlate between the properties of the tooth structure and its influence on the bonding mechanism. • Out line the development performed in dentin bonding systems and classify them. • Discuss factors affecting bonding to tooth structure
8-	- Indirect esthetic restorations • Classify the indirect restorations and list the indications and contraindications of indirect esthetic inlays • Outline different techniques for fabrication of composite resin inlays and the advantage and disadvantage • Describe different types of ceramic inlays • Explain the placement technique of indirect composite and ceramic inlays.
9-	- Management of non-carious lesions • List and differentiate between different non-carious lesions • Point out causes of different non carious lesions and describe how they appear clinically. • Report on the treatment plan of different non-carious lesions

b. Intellectual Skills:

c. Professional and Practical Skills:

1-	The student will be able to perceive the patients and prepare the operating position and field accurately ( Either using the two hand technique or the four hand technique )
2-	the student should be able to perform all cavity preparations design to receive different restorative materials according to the patient conditions.
3-	student should be able to perform all cavity preparations designs to receive different restorative materials according to the patient conditio

d. General and Transferable Skills:

1-	demonstrate appropriate professional attitudes and behavior in dealing with staff members & helping personnel and patients.
2-	Apply the information technology as a mean of communication for data collection and analysis and for life-long learning
