Success in 7 Minutes: Do you warm your dental composites?

Jan. 14, 2022
Drs. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz and Howard Glazer talk about composite warming and share tips on how to make handling dental composites easier and seating restorations more successful.

To warm or not to warm your dental composite. What should you do?

Dr. Howard Glazer says he was a naysayer in the beginning. But if you look at the science, you can see that warming facilitates placement of the composite, makes it easier to handle, and enhances its curability. He thinks composite warming has a big place in dentistry.

I believe it’s also worth looking the IFUs for your composites.

Join Dr. Glazer and me in this episode of Success in 7 Minutes as we discuss composite warming, dispensing, handling, and offer clinical tips based on our experiences that will make seating your dental restorations more successful.
