Everything you wanted to know about the Bioclear system (but never asked!)
As we continue to celebrate Adhesive Month (now spilling over into March!), we’re thrilled to bring you insights into the principles of cavity preparation and adhesion a la Bioclear.
In this first part of our series, we’ll uncover the ‘unconventional’ yet highly effective techniques employed by practitioners like Dr. David Carroll and his colleague, Diana McKenna. One of the key highlights we’ll explore is the Bioclear approach, which challenges traditional norms by utilizing a single large increment, diverging from the conventional use of small increments.

Work together to find common ground and reach a win-win solution that benefits both parties and aligns with the practice’s goals.
