Harris Sidelsky has an article published in the BDJ
Harris Sidelsky has just had an article published in the May 8th issue of the BDJ on resin composite contours.
You may indeed ask what it is all about?
One of Harris’s special interest is in Minimal Invasive dentistry. An example of this would be, if you had a hole in a tooth, the aim would be to remove the decayed part of the tooth without removing healthy tooth substance. In an ideal world, you would also want the end product to look like an undamaged natural tooth.
Believe it or not, this is not easy to achieve. In many of the existing techniques healthy tooth tissue would be destroyed to get to the decay and it is often very difficult to recreate the orignal shape of the tooth.
Harris article describes his filling technique which reproduces the exact shape of the original tooth at the same time preserving the maximum amount of your tooth when removing the decay. The technique is so amazing you would not be able to tell that a filling has been placed.
