We dive deep into the artistry and engineering of decision-making in anterior composites.\n https://youtu.be/_q2O57-Y-d4 \nWatch PDP211 on Youtube\nProtrusive Dental Pearl: use a zirconia primer which contains 10-MDP (e.g. Monobond, Z-Prime Plus) on the intaglio of crowns to enhance bond strength, even with conventional cements like GIC. This low-risk, high-reward tip improves retention, especially for teeth with limited height. Incorporating a zirconia primer can significantly improve outcomes without switching to resin cement.\nInterested in the Unchippable 2 Day Course?
