Enamel Replacement: Ceramic vs Composite
from Six Lessons Approach Podcast by Dr. David Alleman · host Dr. David Alleman
What is the best material for enamel replacement? It depends! When selecting the material of an onlay or overlay, understanding how a natural tooth functions during occlusion is essential if your goal is biomimetic dentistry. Harder is not better, but rather mimicking a natural tooth’s bond to itself and its modulus of elasticity will aid in selecting your enamel replacement material.In this episode, Dr. David Alleman reviews ceramic, composite and gold and outlines best practices for completing the final steps of a biomimetic restoration.Articles referenced in this episode:Wendt, S.
