Success Simplified in the indirect dental restoration workflow

Best-practice recommendation for prosthodontic procedures

Simplifying the indirect restoration workflow

  • best-practice

    Indirect restorative procedures are highly complex. They consist of many different clinical and laboratory steps, and each separate step involves a number of clinical challenges. That's why 3M has worked with five expert clinicians to develop a consensus for best-practice recommendations in prosthodontic procedures. These are based on the latest scientific research findings and personal long-term experience in clinical environments.

    Our objective is to give you, as a clinician, an orientation on indication-specific crown material selection and clinical tips for successful and highly efficient use, striving for the ultimate objective of zero defects.

    The result is a simplified 7-step procedure, covering each stage from restorative dental material selection to maintenance, captured in a booklet to give you a taste of what to expect. In-depth training is provided through our Success Simplified blog, live webinars, personal lectures and workshops.

The 7 steps of the indirect workflow

Each specific procedure step will discuss the most important options, selection criteria and relevant factors for the decision(s) to be made.
The idea is that in the clinical environment, the dental practitioner will select the differentiating factors for each individual case resulting in a case-specific recommended clinical dental protocol.

This concept started with a team of five international experts made up of both clinicians and academic researchers. Together, they've developed a consensus that's based on the latest scientific findings, but also takes into account the challenges and constraints of a modern dental practice.
