Dr. Lauren Yasuda Rainey, DDS

Dr. Lauren Yasuda Rainey is a graduate of the University of the Pacific, Arthur A Dugoni School of Dentistry and completed a General Practice Residency at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. At Tufts she was introduced to the use of surgical microscopes for restorative care, which she continues to use today. In addition to clinical practice, Dr. Rainey began teaching at the Dugoni School of Dentistry in the Department of Reconstructive Dental Sciences and the Department of Dental Practice. There she taught both lectures and hands-on coursework in teledentistry, pre-clinical fixed and direct restorative and local anesthesia administration.

Dr. Rainey teaches direct composite restorative programs including black triangle closures, predictable Class II techniques and is an advocate for using composite resin for crown alternatives wherever possible. She teaches dentists in the US and Canada, both in-person and in virtual hands-on formats, oftentimes using a surgical microscope for enhanced visualization.

Facing your Fears: How to Slay Class II Composites

It’s not you… it’s your tools! The traditional class II matrix systems with metal bands, wooden wedges and clamps that guarantee tight contacts are all a mess, unless you know how to use them WITH your prep design. This course will dive deep into class II preparation design with the final restoration end in mind. Catching gunk at the gingival level? Chipped marginal ridges at recall visits? We’ll tackle some of the common pitfalls of what should be a routine, bread-and-butter part of a general, restorative practice. This course is for you if you’re looking to elevate your confidence in tackling class II posterior restorations.

Learning Objectives:

  • Re-evaluating your preparation design, and thinking beyond the box
  • How to troubleshoot common post-op issues with class II composites
  • Understanding how your patient demographic may play a role in materials selection
