Restorative Dentistry Cosmetic Dentistry Endodontics
Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. Today we'll be discussing the benefits of adding a short-fiber reinforced composite restorative for specific restorative cases. In conjunction with a universal composite, a fiber-reinforced restorative has shown to offer significantly better fracture toughness in many applications versus a universal composite alone. Our guest is Dr. Ron Kaminer, an internationally known educator, lecturing on dental lasers and other cutting-edge technologies in the dental market. Dr. Kaminer maintains 3 practices, one in Hewlett, NY one in Oceanside, NY and one in breezy point NY.
