Dental Archaeology: How Uncovering the Past Can Help You Predict the Future
Speaker: Dr. Matthew Gillespie
REGISTER --> HERE
Dental archeology is the study of tooth's restoration history using a restorative dissection process which provides a dentist the opportunity to directly assess the foundational areas of a tooth. This process is similar to how archeologists use step wise excavation of ancient sites and the subsequent analysis of artifacts to provide insight which can't be obtained using other techniques. This process provides for a more accurate diagnosis which can lead to improved outcomes for both the patient and the dentist. Various patterns of failure seen in everyday clinical situations will be discussed as well as a system to implement this process in a private practice office.
