Posterior restoration procedure for predictable outcomes
Case by Dr. Jusuf Lukarcanin
Restoring posterior cavities is a standard task we perform virtually every day. Yet, it is a challenging procedure as access to the affected teeth is often limited. This fact complicates many steps from working field isolation to material application and sculpting. By streamlining procedures and establishing protocols that are followed every time, it is possible to achieve predictable outcomes even in difficult situations, as shown below.
