Conservative Restorative Treatment of Severely Worn Teeth Presenter: Dr. Jose-Luis Ruiz CE Supporter: VOCO America Release Date: 3/18/11     Reviewed: 2019 Expiration Date: 3/18/22 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

The goal of a responsible clinician is to provide his or her patients with functional, long lasting, and esthetically pleasing restorations, in the most conservative and bio-compatible fashion; direct composite restorations fulfills the ideal requirements mentioned above. When patients present with severe dental wear, dentin exposure or sensitivity caused by occlusal wear, restoring those teeth in a conservative manner is equally desirable.

The use of a composite with excellent mechanical properties and wear characteristics is most desirable.
