In today’s dental market, there’s a choice of many different composites. Some composites are universal, some indicated for anterior restorations, and others are made strictly for direct posterior restorations.1

Today’s dentistry allows us to offer a multitude of dental restorations to our patients. Our challenge as dentists is finding a predictable cementation protocol that will work with a majority of these restorations and also one that’s simple and stress-free.

As patients’ expectations for both the form and function of their dental restorations increase, clinicians must be prepared to perform high-quality work that meets patients’ high standards and keeps them comfortable.

Help your dentists choose a cement that will deliver optimum bonding to the CAD/CAM restorations your lab creates.

“By integrating CAD/CAM dentistry with implants, I’ve achieved a new skill set and a fresh perspective.”

Whether surgically placing or just restoring, many of you are getting more into implants. Here, we explain why and offer some tips to help ensure you’re successful.

Even though it’s a tried and true protocol, all too often restorative dentists skip the implant triad-the surgeon, the restoring doctor and the technician-when it comes to case planning.

Dr. Gary Johnson explains the best way he’s found to improve denture stability.

Many patients may be leery of implants, or simply not aware they’re candidates. Here’s a few questions they should ask themselves to find out if implants might be a treatment option, and questions you can use to get the conversation started:
