Elucidating the landscape of Permanent Cementation with Dr. Jason Goodchild
When it comes to indirect restoration, there can be much confusion over what cement to use, and when. Particularly when you consider the abundance of new materials now available.
With 70 or 80 different products in the dental cement category alone, what factors should dentists consider when choosing a cement?
“It doesn’t really matter what cement you use. It really comes down to treatment planning, case selection and proper preparation." Dr. Jason Goodchild
- Are newer materials better than older, tried and trusted ones?
- How does the treatment of the tooth factor into the equation?
- Does it matter what type of substrate you are using?
Dr. Jason Goodchild is Assistant Professor in the Department of Diagnostic Sciences in the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, Clinical Associate Professor, Dept of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Creighton University School of Dentistry, and Clinical Associate Professor, Dept of Oral Medicine, Univ of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine.
