Dental EconomicsComparing New vs. Older Dental Concepts

In dentistry, new ideas, methods, tools, and technology are emerging so quickly that it can be challenging to know when to adopt them or stick with tried-and-true methods. Several of the new techniques appear to be more expensive and complicated. As a result, Gordon J. Christensen, DDS, PhD, MSD, a practicing prosthodontist in Provo, Utah, and cofounder and CEO of Clinicians Report, has chosen a few of the most significant recent developments and will discuss both the techniques that are unquestionably superior to more traditional ideas and those that are not. Included are each concept’s benefits and drawbacks as well as his recommendations for the finest ones, which are based on both study and clinical observation.
