Very Dental Student: Real Life Dentistry with Dr. Alan Mead

As a 3rd year dental student, Mohammed wonders if the protocols that he's learning in dental school are applicable to real life. He sat down to interview Alan Mead about "real life dentistry."

• Bonding protocols in real life
• Etching vs. self etch
• Alcohol vs. acetone based bonding agents
• Composite wedging and matrices
• Heated composite and "snowplow"
• Indirect workflow and lab communication
• Diagnosing cracked teeth/cracked tooth syndrome
• How do you know when a tooth is unrestorable?
