Next to take to the virtual stage is Trevor Bigg looking at Smart Dentine Replacement™ (SDR), the recently-released composite base from Dentsply designed for posterior restora- tions offering bulk filling (up to four mm) combined with excel- lent flow-like cavity adaptation. Trevor will be looking at the various indications where SDR might make a cost- and time-effective alternative to more traditional methods, as well as giving hints and tips on how to use the material to best effect, from the restoration of deep cavities to children’s den- tistry. Patients are requesting ‘white’ fillings and the latest re- search suggests that we dentists should be supplying them if we want to reduce tooth fracture in later life. The only problem with this is that a good compos- ite filling takes so long to insert. SDR™ simplifies this process and reduces the risk of sensitiv- ity from composite contraction, in the process saving time. Trevor’s easy presentation style and large knowledge base has proven popular with past webinar attendees and this event is looking like no exception. For those new to the webinar concept, webinars are a type of web conference with a differ- ence, as it is live and interactive. The direction of the presentation is primarily led by the present- er/speaker however, audience participation is integral and in- deed necessary for a more use- ful and interesting experience. A webinar is ‘live’ and interac- tive – with the ability to give, receive and discuss informa- tion. There is a ‘chat’ facility available for attendees to post questions and comments, which can then be answered live by the presenter. Trevor’s presentation, Smart Dentine Replacement – No more time-consuming layering!, will be broadcast on October 26th starting at 7.30pm.
