Jason and Alan are joined by a panel of experts to talk about bonding and composite restorations! Our Brain Trust panel consists of podcasting rock star Dr. Joshua Austin of the Working Interferences podcast, Dr. Marc Geissberger and Dr. Adam Hodges! We delve into everything about bonding in this round table! Some highlights: How should we treat composite differently than other materials? What's better about composite now than 10-15 years ago? The evolution of bonding systems...is simpler better? Total etch vs. selective etch vs self etch How can you maximize enamel engagement in your preps? What are the properties of newer composites, including the newer bulk fills? How do you evaluate information about materials? Who is a good source of information? If you have any questions for us or for our panel of experts, drop us a line at [email protected]!
