Are you wondering which patients are ideal for injection molding?

Dr. Tal Wilkins shares that even patients who think their mouths are “hopeless” can actually benefit.

This approach can deliver lasting results at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional full-mouth rehabilitation, all while maintaining as much of the patient’s natural dentition as possible.

GC America is proud to support the AEGD residents at Nova Southeastern University with donated copies of “Restoring with Flowables” by Dr. Douglas Terry - each personally signed by Dr. Terry himself!

The book highlights clinical techniques and materials that shape modern esthetic dentistry, including GC’s injectable composites and the injection technique.

We love seeing the residents’ excitement as they dive into modern restorative techniques. Together, we’re shaping the future of dentistry - one smile at a time.

Upcoming Live FREE CE Webinar!

This course will focus on effective management of patients with high caries-risk. This course will describe the effective use of the MI Paste® family of products, dry mouth gels and glass ionomer materials to manage high caries-risk patients with restorations that are well retained and have no post-operative sensitivity.

The baby boomer generation is 61-79 years old this year and a large proportion of this cohort has extensive crown and bridge work in their mouths. Most boomers are also on medications that result in dry mouth. The risk for recurrent caries goes up logarithmically in a dry mouth with existing dental restorations. Restorative materials with good handling properties that lend themselves to sub-gingival use and save precious chair time as well as dentifrices or gels that inhibit recurrent caries are invaluable tools in a modern family dental practice.

This course will focus on effective management of patients with high caries-risk. Gels and dentifrices which inhibit caries are essential to maintain restorations in a high-risk environment. Dispensing these gels and/or dentifrices from the office ensures patient compliance and has the fringe benefit of building patient confidence and trust as patients appreciate the provider’s interest in preventing future caries, not just in restoring present disease.

Glass ionomers are the only restorative materials commercially available and in wide use that are suitable for sub-gingival situations and restoration of root caries. They release fluoride reliably and bond chemically to dentin and enamel. Their most valuable properties include their setting
characteristics and thermal coefficient of expansion which is similar to that of dentin and enamel.
