Why understanding your materials is the secret to long-lasting restorations
Most dentists make over half of their income from restorations. With so much revenue relying on them, dentists should do all they can to ensure those procedures have successful outcomes.
That means restorations that last for years, not weeks! There’s nothing more costly to a dentist’s business than having to fix a failed restoration for free.
Restorations are complex, multi-step procedures, but ultimately they rely on the effective use of light-cured bonding adhesives and composites.
Being able to use those materials with precision and efficiency can have significant benefits for your practice.
