Finding simplicity in the complex landscape of modern dentistry is a challenge that practitioners face every day. In an effort to shed light on effective strategies and introduce innovative solutions, the Kulzer team engaged with four esteemed dental professionals: Dr Allegra Comba, Dr Edoardo Fossati, Dr Jason Smithson and Dr Riccardo Ammannato.
Their collective wisdom, particularly regarding the use of Venus Pure Shades, provides a blueprint for simplifying dental routines while improving patient outcomes. Discover what insights they shared and how their experiences can transform your dental practice.
Balancing care and efficiency
At the heart of every dental practice is the dynamic between managing patient expectations and performing complex procedures efficiently. “The biggest challenge today is dealing with patients who are very stressed by their busy lives,” says Dr Riccardo Ammannato. He advocates making the workflow as simple as possible without compromising quality.

For Dr Allegra Comba, the challenge in her daily work is “balancing a busy schedule while providing quality care to the patient. Patients do not always understand the complexity of their case and ask for less expensive and time-saving solutions”. These sentiments underscore the daily balancing act that dentists perform in their quest to provide exceptional care.
Streamline your workflow: practical tips for practical results
Our experienced dentists offer a wealth of practical advice on how to improve practice efficiency and patient satisfaction. Dr Edoardo Fossati recommends using a simple technique, that is repeatable and time saving to optimise results: “The challenge with direct restorations, especially in the anterior region, is to achieve a good shade. Look for a composite that is easy to use and avoid a lot of composites: the more composites, the higher the risk of failure.”

Dr Allegra Comba stresses the importance of continuing education to keep up with technological advances. “Simplifying workflows and routines in a dental practice is crucial for efficiency, reducing stress and improving patient care. One of the best ways to achieve appropriate goals and expectations is to develop and adhere to standardized protocols for common treatments. This reduces variability in results and increases efficiency. Continuous education and training on new materials is part of this,” she says. This sentiment is echoed by Dr Jason Smithson, who emphasises the need to master new dental products. “Aesthetic demands are increasing, so I am using more direct chairside composites to control aesthetics.”
The integration of streamlined processes and materials allows dental professionals to focus on what matters most – the patient. Simplified protocols and the use of versatile materials contribute to a more focused and patient-centred approach, ultimately leading to better outcomes and more satisfied patients.
Venus Pure Shades: a new approach to simplicity
Venus Pure Shades represent a significant step forward in the simplification of dental materials. But what do our experts who have had a close look at the new product think? “Venus Pure simplifies the functional and aesthetic dimensions of dental restorations,” says Dr Riccardo Ammannato, recognising the double benefit of the product in improving both the workflow and the result. The range, formulated to provide a universal solution for different types of restorations, can dramatically reduce the time spent on material selection and application procedures.

Dr Allegra Comba shares her experience: “The reduced number of composite syringes with Venus Pure not only frees up working space, but also streamlines the decision-making process for restorations.” This ease of use is echoed by Dr Edoardo Fossati, who comments: “I like to share with my colleagues simple techniques that give good results in daily practice. And I think that Venus Pure could be such an easy material to achieve beautiful results.”
The appeal of Venus Pure Shades lies in its ability to offer predictability and consistency – a key concern for dental professionals: “I would recommend the Pure Shades for their handling, aesthetics and wear resistance,” says Dr Ammannato, pointing out that with Venus Pure Shades, dentists can expect reliable results that stand the test of time and use.

Embracing simplicity in innovation
The dental industry is on the cusp of advances that promise to significantly simplify the complexities of practice. “Dentists are increasingly focusing on simplification rather than aesthetics. The solutions that offer this simplification will drive the market,” predicts Dr Edoardo Fossati, pointing to a trend that is shifting the focus from form to function. Dr Riccardo Ammannato adds to this vision by emphasizing material innovation: “Composite materials that are even more reliable in terms of wear resistance will further guarantee the long-term quality of care.”
The insights of Drs Ammannato, Comba, Fossati and Smithson converge on a central theme: simplification is the key to modern dental practice. The introduction of Venus Pure Shades exemplifies this principle, providing a tool that not only facilitates dental procedures, but also improves the overall quality of patient care.
