The Bioclear Philosophy of Adhesive Dentistry – Part 2 (Anterior) – PDP179

Managing black triangles with composite resin - often these are periodontal patients. Doesn’t that mean you’ll be bonding to root dentine?! Continuing our Adhesive Month series in to March (oops!), we're excited to bring you Part Two of our journey into the Bioclear Adhesive Philosophy. Building on the rich discussion from Part One (PDP 178), we're joined once again by Dr. David Carroll and Diana McKenna as we shift our attention to anterior restorations. We focus specifically on the intricacies and challenges of closing black triangles. https://youtu.be/AFlhZXTm32w Watch PDP179 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Protect the unrestored teeth and restorations from air particle abrasion!

Now I know we are well into March at the time of publishing and we're still stuck on adhesive month, which was February. March is supposed to be documentation month, but don't worry. I've got some cool stuff coming to catch up in March, including what software I'm using at the moment to write my notes for me. Jaz's Introduction:I know it sounds crazy.
