Description

Where do failures happen in dentistry? At the micron level. Bacteria create infections; micromovements initiate cracks; these are the root of failed restorations, infected pulps, and cracked teeth. Experiencing his own failures from traditional and early adhesive restorations, Dr. David Alleman discusses how thinking small led to significant advancements in restorative outcomes.
