Yes, you have read the title correct. I DID get Chris Orr on the Podcast…the silver lining of lockdown?!

I am very excited to share this episode with you – Composite vs Ceramic, Direct vs Indirect.

I have placed hundreds of humongous composites in my career that in hindsight should have been indirect restorations – I share the challenges that I faced in my journey and I am sure many of you will be able to resonate with it.

We discuss:

An extremely insightful episode with Dr Chris Orr (whom I refer to as ‘the Rockstar Dentist’ and I share the story WHY I give him this name)

Is there a place for inlays?

At what point does a composite become a ceramic (or read: direct becomes indirect)

Is there a place for composite onlays?

Does the parafunctional status of a patient influence the choice of restoration?

Is eMax acceptable for 2nd molars?

Dual cure cement vs light cure cement for onlays?

How do you decide which cusps to cover? What kind of join is best to the tooth?

Pressed eMax vs CAD/CAM eMax?

What does Chris Orr think about BOPT/Vertipreps?
