Series: VOCO America

Guest: Dr. Kelly Tanner, PhD, RDH |
What does it mean for dental hygienists to take charge of the operatory? Traditionally seen as supporting roles, hygienists have focused on cleaning teeth and patient education. But our guest today believes they can do much more—enhancing case acceptance, improving clinical outcomes, and elevating overall patient care. Her mission is to empower hygienists to lead, take ownership of their role, and contribute beyond their clinical duties. Dr. Kelly Tanner is a reg dental hygienist who holds a Ph.D. in Business and Leadership. Her website is nextleveldentalhygiene.com.

Guest: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe |
According to our guest, Dr. Mauricio Watanabe, a world-respected speaker and clinician, by using a highly filled nano-composite to fabricate the crown, the same material we use for our deep margin elevation and filling in our undercuts, a semi-direct full coverage restoration will provide long-term predictable success. And Dr. Watanabe has years of cases and research to support his opinion. The whole procedure can be done in 30 minutes when pouring your impression with a fast setting silicone material. So if you're looking to practice conservative dentistry and preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible and still deliver a full coverage crown, you might find the semi-direct restoration an excellent option for many of your large caries cases. Dr. Lauren Rainey, a well-respected clinician and KOL will also be joining us.

So we're beginning to hear more and more about the benefits of warming composite. For one thing, because of the lower viscosity at the time of application, it's a whole lot easier on your hand. But the real benefit lies in adaptation and we all know that the better adaptation, the less likely we'll see recurrent decay and post-operative sensitivity. To tell us why she loves warming composite and how easy it is to make the transition in your operatory to this technique, is our guest Dr. Lauren Rainey. Dr. Rainey is a regular contributor on Viva Learning.com and currently teaches direct restorative techniques to dentists in the US & Canada.
