Synopsis

The gingival architecture represents the frame for the teeth. If it is not restored correctly, either surgically or prosthetically, it will impair the final three dimensional esthetic outcomes. This webinar will teach you how to enhance your skills and gain confidence using pink composites that utilize minimally invasive concepts. Webinar modules include restoring multiple gingival recessions with sulcus reproduction and surface characterizations.

Synopsis

A good understanding of the science behind the treatments we provide, such as restorative dentistry, implants, oral surgery, and periodontal treatment, is necessary to make solid judgments on behalf of our patients. During this webinar, the science of tooth whitening will be reviewed, including the physics, chemistry, physiology and microanatomy of whitening and the results that can be achieved. In addition, the potential frustrations of sensitivity and unpredictability of tooth whitening will be discussed, including solutions that address these.

Synopsis

Ronald D. Perry, DMD, Director of the Gavel Center for Restorative Research and Clinical Professor at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, as well as a practicing dentist, discusses the importance of doing your research before choosing a bonding agent. Dr. Perry emphasizes the Five Pillars of bonding—in-vivo efficacy without post-operative pain, marginal integrity, bond compatibility, long-term durability, and consistency of strength and adhesion—which dental professionals can use as a guide to ensure they are using a bonding agent that will lead to successful outcomes for the patient and the practice.
