Part Four: Troubleshooting Functional Problems
Why do we sometimes encounter problems in functional performance of the restorations we have placed? Why do some restorations fail through chipping, catastrophic fracture, delamination, debonding or other similar issues? What might a clinician have done wrong and what needs to be done differently to avoid the same problem recurring? In this presentation we will consider what drives restoration failure, discuss what to do differently, and review the parameters that promote success.
