“Those who fail to plan, can plan to fail.” This is more than just an old proverb or trite saying, but should be considered words to live by, to be posted up on the front office of every dental laboratory and practice as well as any other myopic small business that focuses too much on day-to-day survival and not enough on setting and striving to achieve long-term goals.

There are a lot of factors that go into matching color for the posterior teeth. Harmony is sometimes difficult to achieve because patients often have amalgam fillings in these teeth, which will generate a blue tint to the enamel. We need to first understand natural teeth color and then see a proper preparation reduction margin design to create a matching restoration for the molars. We also have to look at the occlusal surface of the adjacent teeth. This article will detail a case for one of my own clients, a periodontist, who trusted me with his work.

Unless you live TV free, by now you’ve likely been exposed to the seemingly endless advertising battle between Verizon and AT&T over their respective 3G networks. The wireless providers pull no punches as they take shots at each other’s service networks, but they never really stop to explain just what 3G means.

At THE DENTAL ADVISOR, our group has been researching and tracking all-ceramic restorations for 28 years. As ceramics have evolved, there is a move toward stronger and more esthetic materials.
