Minimally Invasive Bonded Bridges vs. Implants
Every time a clinician sees a missing tooth, the first choice for treatment is usually an implant, because it is considered to be more minimally invasive and durable than traditional fixed bridges or other alternatives. After 40 years of using dental implants, astute professionals have learned that, in many cases, dental implants are neither less invasive nor problem-free.
Due to advances in adhesives, porcelains, and manufacturing techniques, the next generation of bonded bridges is impressive.
In this course, Dr. Ruiz will share indications, principles for success, prep designs for a variety of circumstances on the anterior and posterior teeth, as well as step-by-step techniques for temporizing and predictable bonded cementation of different restorative materials, including zirconia
