“Technology will help the end product. But it’s not only technology. The technique is important to take advantage of that technology.” Prosthodontist Dr. Roberto Macedo shares how he achieves predictable restorative outcomes using standardized adhesive cementation protocols and Kulzer’s ISM Universal Plus cement system. Drawing on more than 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Macedo explains why long-term success in restorative dentistry comes from combining proven products, repeatable workflows, and team-wide consistency rather than constantly changing materials. In this episode of Beyond the Operatory, hosted by John Stamper and proudly brought to you by Dental City, a dental supplies distributor, listeners gain practical insights into simplifying restorative procedures while improving clinical efficiency and reliability. The conversation explores how clinicians evaluate restorative materials, standardize inventory, reduce procedural complexity, and improve efficiency through integrated cementation systems like Kulzer’s iCEM® Universal Plus. Key takeaways include reducing inventory complexity, minimizing material waste, increasing productivity, and selecting trusted manufacturer-backed products that support long-term clinical success and patient satisfaction.
