Course Description
With more than 30 years of regular use in dentistry, composites have revealed some inherent characteristics that have affected outcome success. The most substantiated concerns with resin restorations include micro-leakage, strength and recurrent decay.

In this 1-hour webinar, Dr. Jeff Horowitz will explore a new approach to resin technology that addresses many of the recognized shortcomings of traditional composites.
