DAY 3 - SATURDAY
Dr. Nate Lawson
Current Advancements in Biomaterials for Improved Clinical Outcomes
January 31 | 8:00AM - 10:00AM | 2 CE Credits
Course Outline
New dental materials are introduced to the market every day; however, determining which ones are worthy of consideration can be difficult. Only through thorough testing can one predictably determine each product’s clinical efficacy. At the University of Alabama, we test hundreds of products to determine how they may perform in clinical practice. This course is designed to take the guesswork out of how dentists evaluate new dental products.
Learning Objectives
- Learn why and how dual cure composites can reduce gap formation and the chance of post-operative sensitivity.
- Learn what the injection molding technique is and how to use clear matrix materials for ease and accuracy.
- Learn about the emerging field of 3D printed crowns and what the best bonding and polishing protocols are for clinical success.
