Clinical principles
- Preserving natural teeth — Following the principles of biomimetic dentistry, extraction is considered only after every option to save the tooth has been reviewed; minimal-preparation and no-preparation techniques come first.
- Avoiding over-treatment — Q-ray fluorescence findings, 3D CT scans and intraoral scan data are shown to the patient directly, so the reason for each proposed treatment can be checked together.
- Pain-free anaesthesia — Periodontal ligament anaesthesia (the director’s core technique), the QuickSleeper 5 computer-controlled intraosseous system and the i-ject metered delivery system reduce pain from the injection itself.
