Success Simplified in the indirect dental restoration workflow
Indirect restorative procedures are highly complex. They consist of many different clinical and laboratory steps, and each separate step involves a number of clinical challenges.
That's why 3M has worked with five expert clinicians to develop a consensus for best-practice recommendations in prosthodontic procedures.
These are based on the latest scientific research findings and personal long-term experience in clinical environments.
