Silver diamine fluoride is a tool that can make the restorative process better for you and your patients. It isn’t just for pediatric patients; it works wonderfully to preserve healthy tooth structure in adult patients. SDF can be used in a wide variety of clinical scenarios to increase the margin of safety and ensure better patient outcomes. In this DENTAL ADVISOR podcast, Dr. Matthew Miller and Matt Cowen translate the science behind silver diamine fluoride to help you better understand how and why you should add SDF into your armamentarium.

Most dentists take their curing light for granted. They have never been taught much about curing lights in dental school and all curing lights will make the top surface of the restoration hard. Yet without a good curing light all the fantastic products made by dental manufacturers that must be light cured resins are doomed to failure. This presentation will provide an insight into what to look for in a curing light and what to avoid. This presentation will also help you understand how researchers light cure products when they test them.
