Top Three Challenges Dentists Face with Composite Veneers

1

1. Achieving Proper Contact and Contour

Poor contacts can lead to food impaction and patient dissatisfaction, making it critical to use proper matrices and techniques.
2

Polymerization Shrinkage

Polymerization shrinkage can compromise marginal integrity, leading to post-operative sensitivity and microleakage.
3

Moisture Control and Isolation

Inadequate isolation can lead to contamination, compromised adhesion, and eventual restoration failure.

Dental Online Training has truly made me a better dentist and significantly upped my game. I’m also much more confident with treatment planning now. In some courses, there are so many people that you feel like just a tiny person in a big room, and you don’t always get your questions answered. But that’s not the case with DOT.
