While Advanced Adhesive techniques are certainly important for the retention of “Non-Retentive” partial coverage ceramics, there are many more benefits as a result of ideal bonding. Dr. Steve Schiffenhaus will review techniques & advantages of advanced adhesion ranging from retention of ceramics, improved post-operative pulpal outcomes, decreased gap formation & microleakage, biomechanic stabilization, & increased fracture resistance. 30 Days of Access - All Sales Final
