Of Endodontically Treated, Pericervical Dentine With Supercomposite For Molar Preservation
It’s no secret that most dental professionals experience fatigue, pain, and discomfort of the hand, wrist, or arm on a daily basis. But since the COVID pandemic surfaced, many dentists and hygienists have been forced to switch from power instruments to hand instruments, which often exacerbates any previous work-related discomfort from repetitive motion. “I was getting pain in my thumb joint from having to mostly hand scale since COVID,” described Deborah Deal, CRDH.
A considerable amount of time, effort and money goes into complex restorative work including crowns or bridges. Patients, often after past caries experience, and other riskrelated behaviors such as poor oral hygiene or a sugary diet, end up needing a substantial amount of dental work to stabilize their oral health. While many of the risk factors which have caused the dental disease may have been addressed prior to commencing complex restorations, the work doesn’t end there.
