Composite restorations remain the most common direct treatment in dentistry-yet they are also among the most technique-sensitive. Composite Failures often occur not because of the material but due to small deviations in bonding, moisture control, preparation design, or occlusal planning. Understanding these hidden factors helps clinicians achieve predictable, long-lasting restorations. Why Composite Restorations Fail 1. […]
Modern dental care is shifting from purely clinical outcomes to a broader approach that includes environmental responsibility. Green dentistry focuses on reducing waste, conserving resources, using safer materials, and minimizing environmental toxins – all while maintaining excellent patient care.Being eco-conscious is more than an ethical step; it improves efficiency, reduces long-term costs, and strengthens the […]
Chairside CAD/CAM systems have reshaped restorative dentistry by combining digital scanning, computer-aided design, and in-office fabrication into one continuous workflow. Same-day crowns and indirect restorations produced through these systems reduce clinical time, eliminate temporaries, and improve overall predictability. Modern CAD/CAM workflows offer a higher degree of control over restorative quality, accuracy, and material performance than […]
Achieving a beautiful, naturallooking restoration isn’t just about using the best materials-it begins with accurately matching the shade of the patient’s teeth. Shade matching is the process of selecting a restoration colour that harmonizes with the surrounding dentition. A mismatch can undermine the aesthetic outcome and patient satisfaction. Successful shade matching requires understanding colour science […]
