How to standardize your dental cement use.
Standardizing your practice can result in better patient outcomes, as well as savings in time and money
Sorting through a jumble of special purpose cements to find the right one for your procedure can be frustrating and confusing. You want to ensure that the right product is used for the right patient, in a timely way so that patients can get on with their lives, and you can get on to helping your next patient.
