Expert Q&A
Are small-diameter implants reliable for overdentures?
With proper case design and consideration of the type, number and location of implants for optimal distribution of occlusal forces, small-diameter implants provide a stable, affordable full-arch retention option. (see 2018 DT cover story above)
Do impression materials really change crown accuracy?
Selection by the dentist of the best class of impression material for various clinical situations when fabricating dental crown and bridge restorations or dentures directly affects accuracy, fit and remakes. (see 2017 DT comparison with peer-reviewed citations)
When is a conservative bone graft preferred?
Immediate site preservation can improve esthetics and soft-tissue stability for implants. (see 2021 DT article)
Does material used for dental veneers matter for a natural looking result?
Because natural teeth are not ‘flat’ in color and react to light, the porcelain selected for dental veneers must possess the ability to exhibit luminescence to react to light like a natural tooth, so that a harmonious blending of natural to veneered teeth is achieved. (see 2010 DT article)
