Boost your DentistryIQ: See what the research says about the next big thing in dentistry

Peter Rechmann, DMD, PhD, and his team conducted a study that might have led to the next big thing in dentistry. He concluded the study about a product that he believes could revolutionize how dentists provide restorative dentistry.

The company Nobio approached Dr. Rechmann’s department, Preventive and Restorative Dental Sciences at the University of California San Francisco, about its new flowable and bulk fill composite. Their claim was that the composite contains nanoparticles that kill bacteria. Dr. Rechmann naturally questioned whether the product really worked and was looking forward to the study's conclusions. He explains how the study proceeded and what the research concluded.

How will this information translate clinically and help dentists in their everyday practices? Watch Dr. Rechmann’s conversation with Dr. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz to find out if what the study concluded will benefit your practice. Dr. Rechmann and his team think it will!
