Dentistry as a whole is struggling with producing quality impressions…but just how bad is it? A recent JADA article answers that question and we take a stab at some possible fixes. Also, an endo article we stumbled upon a couple of months ago ends up being a real revelation as to how long we can really wait before putting crowns on endodontically treated teeth before failure rates go up. How important is coronal seal? Finally, we talk about how digital impressioning changed our retraction techniques and product recommendations.
