Episode 791: The Latest in Composite Dentistry: Universal Composites, Bonding & Clinical Pearls
View All Episodes from: Bisco Dental Podcast Series |
Series: Bisco
CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. John Zalesky |
Composite dentistry has changed dramatically over the past decade. We've gone from stocking dozens of shades and multiple classes of composites to universal composites, simplified adhesive systems, and new techniques that promise better results with less complexity. But are these advances really changing the way we practice? Is one universal composite enough for most clinical situations? Does composite warming actually improve outcomes? And could something as simple as your curing technique be the difference between a restoration that lasts for years—or one that fails prematurely? Dr. John Zalesky will help us separate the science from the marketing as we discuss today's universal composite restorative materials, the evolution of universal adhesives and selective etching and why one particular universal composite is generating so much attention. If you're looking to simplify your composite restorative workflow without sacrificing quality, you won't want to miss this conversation.

Guest: Lynn Pencek, RDH, MS |
Dental implants have transformed restorative dentistry, but placing an implant is only the beginning. The real challenge—and the key to long-term success—is proper maintenance. Yet many clinicians are still relying on protocols they learned years ago, despite growing evidence that some traditional techniques, instruments, and even preventive products may do more harm than good. So what should today's implant maintenance protocol actually look like? Joining us is dental hygienist Lynn Pencek, who brings a unique combination of clinical experience and industry expertise. Lynn is passionate about helping hygienists and dentists cut through the confusion surrounding implant maintenance with practical, evidence-based guidance. In this episode, we'll explore why implant maintenance remains such a misunderstood topic, uncover the truth behind metallosis and tribo-corrosion, discuss how instrument and polishing choices can impact implant surfaces, examine the surprising relationship between fluoride and titanium implants, and reveal the modern protocols every practice should be implementing to help ensure long-term implant success.

Episode 815: The New Era of Bulk-Fill Composites: Simpler, Faster, Better?

Guest: Dr. Foroud Hakim |
For decades, the prevailing orthodoxy in dentistry was that composite restorations should always be placed in 2 mm increments. But advances in materials science have challenged that long-standing belief. Today, we'll explore what those advances mean in everyday clinical practice, along with other key considerations for direct composite restorations—including handling characteristics, radiopacity, adhesion, and practical tips for composite injection molding. If you're a general dentist who enjoys restoring teeth with composite, you're going to appreciate today's guest, Dr. Foroud Hakim. He shares insights drawn from more than 30 years in private practice and working with residents the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry. He also offers some thoughtful advice for new graduates, emphasizing that investing in high-quality continuing education immediately after dental school is one of the best ways to accelerate your clinical skills and confidence.
