Restorative dentistry can be rewarding for both the dentist and the patient, yet certainly presents stressful dilemmas throughout the case. Dentists need to be aware of the multiple treatment options available when planning for indirect restorations. This is especially true in the case of missing teeth when implants may not be an option. Utilizing proven protocols, materials, and techniques, allows the clinician to avoid stressful case challenges. Hemostasis, provisionalization, and cement selection are just a few common issues that can dictate success or failure. This course is designed to provide clear principles that can be applied to virtually all indirect crown, bridge or multiple-unit cases.
