Advancements in technology and materials have shifted the field of dentistry. As a result, providers opt for more conservative restorative options for enhanced smile esthetics. Additive and minimally invasive restorations rely on chemical adhesion over mechanical retention with both their direct and indirect restorations. The road to reliability in adhesive dentistry is paved through consistency and reliance on adhering to science. Developing systems and protocols and sticking to them ensures long term stability with cosmetic restorations, which in turn results in happy patients with reliable outcomes. But how does one develop the proper systems and protocols? In this CE webinar, providers will learn how to simplify yet optimize their isolation techniques and bonding protocols to achieve more predictable long-term success with both their direct and indirect restorative outcomes.

Many clinicians believe that once a carious lesion is treated with silver diamine fluoride, restorative treatment is no longer necessary. The truth is, SDF does not restore the form and function of the tooth, therefore, in most cases, the restoration is still needed. It is important for clinicians to understand the benefits of incorporating SDF as a standard part of the restorative process for all patients. SDF buys time, preserves healthy tooth structure, and provides you and your patients with more flexible treatment options. During this CE webinar, we will present specific case examples to show the value SDF adds to restorative care.
