In this webinar, you will learn about principles for the successful placement of composite resin restorations and be introduced to a recently introduced material that makes shade matching simpler.
This article discusses the definition of bioactive dental materials and analyzes products that claim to possess bioactivity. Three brief case reports using bioactive restorative materials are presented. This article is peer reviewed and available for 2 hours of CE credit.
Plinio Mendes Senna, DDS, PhD; Emmanuel João Nogueira Leal da Silva, DDS, PhD; Ricardo Guimarães de Carvalho, DDS; and Luciano Ribeiro Corrêa Netto, DDS; report a case involving a teenage patient with a maxillary lateral incisor malformed by dens invaginatus. Aesthetic restoration of the tooth was achieved using a gingiva-shaded composite.
John C. Comisi, DDS, explores the factors behind direct dental restorative failures and the methods that can improve results.
Abdi Sameni, DDS; Ali Borzabadi-Farahani, DDS, MScD; and Alireza Moshaverinia, DDS, MS, PhD; describe the full-mouth rehabilitation of a patient with a worn dentition caused by nocturnal bruxism, utilizing a combination of adhesive and implant dentistry. This article is peer reviewed and available for 2 hours of CE credit. Learning Objectives: After reading this article, the individual will learn: (1) factors in the clinical management of worn dentition, and (2) a clinical technique for treating worn dentition using adhesive and implant dentistry.
John Mamoun, DMD, and Donato Napoletano, DMD, review the clinical process of adjusting crowns and bridges during try-in and insertion using microscope-level magnification combined with head-mounted coaxial illumination. This article is peer-reviewed and available for 2 hours of CE credit. Learning Objectives: After participating in this CE activity, the individual will learn: To use microscope-level magnification and headmounted coaxial illumination to obtain optimal seating of crowns and bridges. To use magnification and coaxial illumination to properly adjust the occlusion of crowns and bridges.
Howard E. Strassler, DMD, and Richard B. Price, BDS, DDS, MS, PhD, discuss the variables that affect light curing, as well as other important factors for successful light curing. This article is peer-reviewed and available for 2 hours of CE credit. Learning Objectives: After participating in this CE activity, the individual will learn: Key CORE variables that affect the success of light curing restorations. How to monitor and maintain curing lights to ensure optimal light curing.
Howard E. Strassler, DMD, and Richard B. Price, BDS, DDS, MS, PhD, discuss the importance of adequate photopolymerization and how to achieve predictable, clinically successful light-cured restorations. This article is peer-reviewed and available for 2 hours of CE credit Learning Objectives: After participating in this CE activity, the individual will learn: The importance of adequate photopolymerization of light-cured restorations. How to manage variables to achieve successful, predictable light-cured restorations.
