Biomimetic Occlusion Part 2: Abfractions and Full-Mouth Cases

Six Lessons Approach Podcast by Dr. David Alleman

Daily dentistry, the cases you see every day, usually involves minor occlusal adjustments that can be treated quickly and predictably using the Six Lessons Approach, but biomimetic techniques can benefit more advanced occlusal cases too. In this episode, Dr. David Alleman discusses the cause of abfractions, how complex temporaries are a thing of the past and options for doctors seeking more advanced occlusal training beyond everyday cases.
