How do you choose the restorative dental products that you use

So many products, so much information, so little time. There’s a great deal to be thoroughly considered before you purchase your materials, supplies, and equipment.
Here’s the Inside look at how to weave through the maze of messages and come out with a clear understanding of what’s in your - but most importantly, your patients’ -best interest.

1. Understand how the product works
ask questions "What evidence do you have that it works? How was this evidence obtained? Do you have an evaluation from one of the dental product evaluators?"

2.Dental product evaluation by independent evaluators
