restorative
flow charts
Remember the choose-your-own adventure
books we all read in grade school? The ones we'd
get part of the way into and then hit a fork where
we'd need to pick one of two or three directions.
These were the books always checked out of
the library because even the kids who didn't like
to read liked the unpredictability of the stories,
because they were interactive and because we all
liked to feel we were in control of the book's end.
Restorative procedures, it turns out, are also a
lot like these choose-your-own adventure books
and most times, there are many directions in
which a doctor can go with a restoration.
The flow charts in this section go from start to
finish. They include the questions you should ask
while you're treatment planning and practicing,
they mention various products you might be
using, and they explain basic processes like direct
and indirect restorations, cement, bonding and
color choice.
So read on, learn on and choose the way you
want to practice restorative dentistry.
We realize that you have many options available when choosing
products. The lists in this section were derived from Dentaltown's
Townie Choice Awards ballot.
