What I love (and don’t love) about this dental restoration
Nov. 29, 2023
What do love about this dental restoration? What’s an absolute no-no?
Here’s what I thought went well:
- Isolation
- Busting out the slow-speed—love the care to be careful
- Great contour
Here’s what I didn't like so much:
- I’m crushing most of this prep all day now with my Solea laser (anesthesia free by the way). Then I’ll fine-tune with slow-speed.
- Never dip in adhesive! It changes the composite chemistry. For that matter, I’m not dipping at all. Use composites and instrumentation that eliminate the sticky.
- I’m bulk-filling this all day and getting as close to monolithic as I can. Too many layers add too much time and room for error at every layer’s interface.
