Gordon J. Christensen, DDS, MSD, PhD
You do these procedures many times every week! Are you using the best materials and techniques? What is a filler, a build-up, or a post and core? When should you use each? Are you using the best codes for them? What kind of composite is best for a tooth build-up and why? Would you use your standard restorative resin or those sold as build-up resins? In this video, Gordon compares the three procedures and discusses:
- When to use a filler, a build-up, or a post?
- Preps.
- Retention – undercuts, channels, potholes, pins, or posts?
- Tooth disinfection and desensitization.
- Bonding agents – best and worst characteristics.
- RMGI, GI, compomer, composite - When to use each?
- Curing techniques when necessary.
This is one of the most misunderstood procedures in restorative dentistry. Let us guide you to the best techniques.
