The Bioflx Crown is the new kid on the block!
Our pediatric dental community has been eagerly awaiting an alternative to the stainless steel crown, that would function like stainless steel, but be more aesthetically acceptable to parents and children. The Bioflx crowns provide the closest alternative. These preformed, flexible, aesthetic crowns are pre-contoured and pre-crimped. Made up of a hybrid resin polymer, their ease of use is similar to the traditional stainless steel crown technique.
The speaker will share her experience of over two years, in the use of the Bioflx crowns and present a step-by-step treatment guide.
