Direct vs Indirect Restorations: Key Analyses
Quick Tips: TIPS & Recipes

4m 18s
This video delves into the structural analyses needed to decide between direct and indirect restorations. We outline three essential factors: cavity size, cervical margin accessibility, and proximal box width. Extensive cavities or difficult cervical margins often favor indirect techniques due to their superior adaptation and durability. Direct restorations, however, excel in cases of smaller volumes or minor occlusal augmentations. We also discuss the use of transparent matrices for precise resin application in direct restorations, providing practical tips for achieving excellent results. This content is designed for dental professionals seeking to optimize their restorative techniques.
