Modern dentistry provides dental professionals with plenty of opportunities to enhance the work they produce.

The dental market is full of new ideas, materials, techniques and tools to help maximise treatment outcomes, patient satisfaction and practice profitability – but is there such a thing as too much choice?

The industry’s advancements are impressive and certainly positive, but it is important that professionals are not overwhelmed by the available options. When it comes to indirect restorative work, which can be naturally complex, too much choice can soon make things all the more complicated.

This is why 3M Oral Care has partnered up with five international experts to create Success Simplified – a unique concept that helps dental professionals streamline their indirect restoration workflows, for remarkable outcomes with minimal stress!

The faces behind Success Simplified

Success Simplified is the brainchild of 3M Oral Care and Jan-Frederik Güth, Professor Paulo Monteiro, Akit Patel, Carlos Eduardo Sabrosa and Dr Stefan Vanderweghe. Together, they have developed a consensus based on the latest scientific findings and their own clinical experience. Together they have ensured that Success Simplified considers the challenges and constraints of modern dental practices.

What is it all about?

Aside from the influx of new products and materials, patient expectations continue to change and, as a result, it is becoming more complex to meet modern demands. Streamlining the workflow is more important now than ever before. Fortunately, the answer is simple.

Success Simplified is a comprehensive yet highly accessible resource that covers all seven steps of an indirect workflow, guiding professionals on how to simplify and standardise their prosthodontic procedures.

To sum up the basic principles of Success Simplified, the goals of this concept are as follows:

  • Selecting the simplest methods that still ensure reliable results
  • Be as minimally invasive as possible
  • Ensure cost-efficiency for the professional and the patient

A glimpse into Success Simplified

Success Simplified covers everything from dental material selection to restoration maintenance, providing an enhanced understanding of each step. For instance, the first step focuses on product selection – arguably the most important part of the entire treatment pathway.

3M Oral Care has honed the very best of its portfolio and recommended products that will work optimally with each step. Its ethos is underpinned by the belief that professionals should be able to use innovative products that truly make an impact, all the while making their life easier. The five experts who have lent their hand to this concept have also shared their definitions of best practice recommendations and protocols. So, you can achieve outstanding results; first time, every time!

The future of dentistry

Nowadays, the focus of the dental field is on preservation, allowing patients to enjoy their natural dentition for as long as possible. The development of minimally invasive techniques has made this a reality, and all dental treatment should be supported by this underlying principle. Success Simplified is ideal for professionals seeking ways to harness a minimally invasive workflow, save time/money and prioritise simplicity without compromising quality.

As dentistry becomes more complex, rely on simplicity to help you keep pace.
