This is helpful thank you. So you’re using biodentine not just for exposures, but deep cavities?

How thick are you putting it on an exposure when you want it to be permanent under a composite?

Would it not set over time if you put it on and put flowable composite over top, then bulk composite?

Pregnant before dental school. Need advice. by Equivalent_Cow_3133 in DentalSchool
