SUMMARY
We are moving towards a day when dental restoratives are no longer inert materials that merely occupy the space made by the cavity preparation. Cavity liners and restorative materials now have the capability of helping to rebuild and remineralize affected tooth structure and help protect the teeth from acid attack. In this 1-hour webinar, Dr. Lowe will discuss technologies that allow for early diagnosis of carious lesions and demonstrate techniques to conservatively prepare and restore these teeth using bioactive restorative materials. You will learn when and where use of these materials is indicated.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Identify the latest tools for early diagnosis of dental decay, beyond the x-ray and explorer
2. Learn techniques for conservative, minimal preparation of carious lesions that conserve a maximum amount of tooth structure
3. Discuss what the difference is between infected dentin and affected dentin
4. Learn what bioactive dental materials are and how can they help in the repair of sick teeth
5. Become familiar with finishing and polishing techniques that create natural surface texture and reflection
