Additive Equilibration Technique – PDP121

In this episode with Dr. Carlos Sanchez, we’re going to take a look at the concept of additive equilibration as a way of managing tooth wear. In other words, it’s an occlusion-based technique that involves adding composite or ceramic to achieve the ideal restorative results and we’re going to try to help you understand what that is. There are also some themes that are discussed in the same way as the Dahl technique. https://youtu.be/TZ5FKkiscco Check out this full episode on YouTube Protrusive dental Pearl: Keeping PTFE tape secure – a straightforward trick I found to keep the PTFE so it doesn’t get sucked away is to floss the PTFE through more distal contacts. It gives the PTFE some security and resistance to being sucked away. So it’s not going to make that horrible sound and you get to keep that PTFE in the stable place!
