What is the advantage of using sectional matrices over circumferential matrices for composite restorations?
Simple Concepts to Shape and Polish Anterior Composites to Rival Porcelain
Admin2022-09-08T15:25:15-04:00By David Chan, DMD, AAACD
With contemporary direct composite systems, the clinician can now truly be a dental artist by conservatively and esthetically creating restorations that are so life-like that they virtually emulate the beauty of natural tooth structure.
Predictable and Efficient Single Unit Crown Restorations
Admin2024-08-07T13:39:16-04:00By Bob Margeas, DDS
A 55-year-old patient presented to my office with tooth pain upon biting from his second bicuspid. Upon further examination a crack was noted on the mesial marginal ridge.
Increasing Restorative Success Means Making Smarter Choices During Provisionalization

The scope of temporization goes beyond the protection of the prepared tooth. Maintenance of tooth position as well as gingival health and position surrounding the preparation during the provisional phase are just as important for optimal results.
Maximizing Impression-Taking Efficiency and Accuracy

Obtaining a patient’s dental impression can present many challenges. One must keep the area free of saliva and blood, have good access to margins and often deal with a variety of viscosities of impression materials, that must be mixed and injected simultaneously to obtain an accurate impression.
It’s Time to Give Isolation a (Rubber) Dam
Admin2022-08-08T11:26:39-04:00By Devin McClintock, DDS
Achieving successful, long-term restorations is dependent on maintaining a clean, dry and isolated field during the bonding process. While many options exist for achieving a dry field, the rubber dam reigns supreme.
Desensitization Protocol for Crowns Using G5 – Clinical Article
Admin2023-09-01T08:54:45-04:00By Harald O. Heymann DDS, MEd
G5 is a time and research proven desensitizer that works to prevent post-op sensitivity when placed under virtually any type of dental restoration. Based historically on the formulation of a dentin primer, G5 contains 5% glutaraldehyde, 35% HEMA, and water: a simple but highly effective composition.

Admin2022-09-08T15:47:02-04:00By Marcos Vargas, BDB, DDS, MS & Kayla E. Erps, Senior Dental Student, University of Iowa
While restoring the posterior dentition, natural proximal contours, contact size, position and shape are integral to the function and longevity of both the restoration and remaining tooth structure. Composite dentistry has progressed to the point where restorations disappear into the surrounding tooth structure yet despite considerable improvements in both technique and materials, inconsistent results continue to be a challenge for many clinicians.
