25 Things that Have Changed the Way I Practice
Over the years I have occasionally found some things that significantly improve the process by which I do dentistry or the results that I get. Some things are very inexpensive, costing little to nothing to implement, while others carry a larger price tag, but have yielded results surpassing their costs. In this presentation I will share 25 things that have made some of my clinical procedures more simple or my practice more fruitful.
A Practical Approach to Esthetic Dentistry for the Uncooperative Child:
Frequently Asked Questions
This presentation will feature answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about esthetic dentistry in the primary dentition. The general topic areas include: Anterior esthetic full coverage restorations; posterior esthetic full coverage, anterior intracoronal restorations, and posterior intracoronal restorations.
Many of the frequently asked questions about these topics will be answered, such as; What is the best way to restore badly broken down primary incisors? Should I use a compomer, a conventional composite or a resin modified glass ionomer to restore Class II caries in primary molars? What is the best preparation design for Class III tooth colored restorations in primary incisors? and, What role can flowable composites play in restoring the primary dentition?
This practical and very clinically oriented presentation will provide the clinician with the information s/he needs to increase their knowledge and success with esthetic restorations for young children.
