Course Info
THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY PRACTICE. HOW SOLID IS YOURS?
All adhesives on the market claim to have high bond strengths. How does a practicing dentist even know what that means? You will see how adhesives perform relative to one another when tested on both dentin and enamel. You will also learn how the application of adhesives can be dramatically impacted by you, the practitioner. What we do matters!
We will cover the following:
- How curing lights impact this process and get past the marketing hype
- Cementation of an indirect prosthesis can be a maze of materials and techniques
- Unravel the confusion with regards to cementing or bonding zirconia, lithium disilicate, and others
