Dentists

Example Of Qualified Activities

 

• Testing and Formulation: Developing and testing new bonding agents, resins, or whitening solutions aimed at improving durability, aesthetics, or reducing patient sensitivity.
   
• Comparative Testing: Comparing chemical formulations, curing methods, or application techniques to determine which produces the most reliable long-term results.
   
• CAD/CAM Innovation: Designing custom veneers, crowns, or aligners and iterating on shading, translucency, and fit.
   
• Digital & Ceramic Workflows: Experimenting with digital modeling, 3D milling tolerances, and ceramic layering to resolve uncertainties in fit and appearance. 
   
• Whitening Protocols: Developing new in-office whitening processes that reduce sensitivity while maintaining efficacy, including controlled testing of light wavelengths, peroxide concentrations, and exposure times.
   
• Implant Methods: Creating new implant placement methods for highly visible cosmetic areas and resolving uncertainty around gum line aesthetics, osseointegration, and long-term stability.
   
• Adoption of New Technologies: Implementing intraoral scanners and 3D printing and refining protocols to ensure predictable, repeatable outcomes.
