case study
A New Technique
for New Patients
T
hroughout my career, I've had three watershed moments when it comes
to my continuing education in direct composite dentistry. The first was
during a course by Dr. Dennis Hartlieb, and the second from Dr. Jason
Smithson, whom I had learned about through Dentaltown. These
clinicians demonstrated techniques and results with composite that I initially
had thought were unattainable. The third moment came in 2006, when I met
Dr. David Clark during his course at the Big Apple Dental Meeting, where I first
learned about the Bioclear method. Clark demonstrated a minimally invasive and
predictable way to close black triangles and restore deep Class III restorations.
Up to this point, I had attempted to restore these types of restorations via flat
Mylar, often leaving a bloody mess and less than optimal results.
Besides realizing this new method of dentistry would improve my entire
approach to composite dentistry, I also understood that it spoke to many things
that my patients were already asking for: They don't want to remove tooth
structure, they do want to keep their costs down, and they do want results that
are strong and look good. And if they can't get that from you, they'll get it
somewhere else! That's why it's important to keep learning about new materials
and new techniques. The following case explores my own use of a new composite
and a new(er) technique for closing black triangles.

The dark spaces between patients' teeth can make the teeth look old or
give the feeling that the teeth are diseased in some way. Many patients have
an adverse reaction to this look and don't even realize it will happen to them,
especially as a result of orthodontic treatment. So, what are the options? A veneer
just blocks the space-it doesn't regenerate a papilla and doesn't go between the
teeth like a composite can. We don't want to just block the space, anyway; we
want to create a pink triangle and regenerate the papillae at the same time. We're
talking almost 100% additive dentistry, which really separates this technique
from veneers and crowns.
Dr. Arthur Volker's online

of 13 included in the Townie
