Six Lessons Approach Podcast by Dr. David Alleman
00:00
Evolution of Restorative Techniques in Dentistry
The chapter explores the challenges in dental restorations such as stress from polymerization shrinkage and occlusal loading, discussing the significance of bond strength and comparing techniques recommended by Fusiyama, Raybur Lottie, and others. It highlights the development of stress-reduced direct composite technique as a solution for managing sea factor stresses in complex geometries, emphasizing its importance in conservative and minimally invasive dentistry practices. The chapter also delves into cost considerations, profitability, and the hierarchy of bondability in different scenarios, while introducing the stress-reduced direct technique as a feasible option, particularly in regions lacking CAD CAM or lab resources.
