PTFE Isolation in Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry
Dr Takeshi Tsuruta brings the Japanese principle of Kaizen to isolation. He shows how PTFE enhances rubber dam isolation, enables effective relative isolation, and supports a new PTFE absolute isolation technique, with step-by-step protocols and cases for more predictable adhesion.
Included with All-Access membership, along with every other lecture in the library.
PTFE Isolation in Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry
Dr Takeshi Tsuruta presents an innovative approach to isolation in biomimetic restorative dentistry. Incorporating the Japanese principle of “Kaizen”—continuous improvement—he gives us a unique insight into his clinical workflows. This lecture explores the use of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to enhance rubber dam isolation, enable effective relative isolation, and introduce a new “PTFE absolute isolation” technique. Dr Tsuruta explains PTFE’s unique properties and adaptability for various restorative procedures. Through step-by-step protocols and clinical case examples, you will learn how to improve adhesive techniques and achieve more predictable restorative outcomes.
