During the P.M. session, Dr. Small will present Restorative Failures: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Using thirty four years of clinical experience, Dr. Small explores the not often discussed topic of clinical failures. What determines a success or a failure? How long should a restoration stay in a patient’s mouth? Are some materials or techniques better than others?
Most patients want to know how long a restoration will last. What do you say when asked that question? How do you choose a technique or material? During this all-new and very unique presentation Dr Small courageously shows his restorative disappointments and explains why they occurred and what he did to resolve them. More importantly with each case he will discuss how he would have done them differently today in order to insure more longevity.
A must-see seminar for any restorative dentist.
