These new simplified shading systems offer the widely desired chameleon effect we want from our composites. Simplify your overhead without compromising your results.

Unishade composites pull color from the surrounding tooth structure allowing your restoration to blend in seamlessly. They have exceptional strength, low wear and polish like glass so you can use them in both the anterior and posterior.

Enhance the predictability of success in crown cementation by bonding your restoration using a bonding agent with MDP technology and a dual cure cement with high shear bond strength.

Don’t let your restorations be the start of the problem for your patients. By using the proper materials, you can enhance your direct and indirect restorations, protect the pulp and promote pulp vitality with the release and recharge of Calcium and Flouride ions in the tooth.

Do you know the nature of the psychology behind financial decisions? In this episode, Ankur Gupta, DDS, discusses the five barriers to saying yes to dental treatment.

In this episode, Ankur Gupta, DDS, discusses various ways that the entire dental team can wow new patients and make their experience extraordinary from the minute they walk in the door.

Did you know up to 70% of composite restorations fail due to secondary decay? By incorporating bio-active materials into your protocol you can rest easier knowing the materials you are using protect against secondary decay and promote healing of the natural tooth structure.

Do you remember the days of rotary telephones? Technology is constantly evolving, and light curing should too! Curing technology has remained largely unchanged over the last decade. In this presentation you will be introduced to an evolution in light curing. One that overcomes the limitations of curing lights as we know them. Review the critical criteria of evaluating curing lights and how you can achieve better depth of cure, higher conversion (hardness), with less shrinkage (associated with sensitivity and failure.)

Dentists use many tools to decrease local anesthetic injection pain for patients, including the use of topical anesthesia, plain solutions, smaller needles, and computer controlled devices. However, a commonly used technique of delivering a counter stimulus, either by wiggling the patient's cheek or better yet by using a vibration device could be an important factor in improving the local anesthetic experience.
