Episode Summary

Lots of compelling research is supporting the concept of doing things a little differently when it comes to placing our composite restorative materials. And yes, you've guessed it, this has to do with the temperature of the material when applying it to the tooth preparation. Our guest, Dr. John Comisi, will tell us more about this and why we should consider warming things up in our direct restorative procedures. Dr. Comisi practiced general dentistry and dental sleep medicine in Ithaca, NY for 35 years before relocating to South Carolina in August 2017 to join the faculty at the Medical University of South Carolina James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine where he is an Associate Professor of Restorative Dentistry.
