Biomimetic Dentistry is the use of Restorative techniques and materials to mimic (and preserve) the structure and function of natural teeth. Dr. Taylor Paton will discuss his journey in Biomimetic Dentistry: how it differs from Adhesive dentistry and how it can be used to develop innovative treatment strategies for patients. In this episode we also discussed philosophies and guidelines following the literature for optimal bond strengths, so that your clinical protocols may benefit from Biomimetic principles. https://youtu.be/UFTwT86Urs8 Check out the full Video The Protrusive Dental Pearl: How to block out a metal post.
