Description

Dental adhesion is a topic in constant evolution. Unfortunately, the perfect adhesive does not exist, and the oral cavity is not an easy place “to glue things.” Also, new formulations are released each year in the market with the promise of better results. So, dental practitioners always wonder: Should I change my bonding protocol for this new one or not?

This course intends to provide an update on dental adhesion for different substrates: enamel, dentin, and dental alloys with a focus on dental ceramics.

This course is designed for all those who work with dental adhesion: general dentists, dental specialists, dental assistants, and dental hygienists. The basic concepts, such as chemical composition, polymerization reaction, and bonding strength, will be discussed, focusing on the clinical performance of the adhesive systems.

The clinical protocol for cementing dental ceramics and metallic structures will be studied based on the more recent evidence-based literature.

An essential part of this course will focus on understanding why the adhesive joints fail over time and how to avoid these failures.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the basic concepts of dental adhesion to ceramics, composites, and metals.
  • Compare the different adhesive restorative systems to the dental substrate (Enamel and Dentin)
  • Differentiate the kinds of resin-cements for dental ceramics and metallic structures.
  • Analyze the causes of failure of the adhesive procedures and implement measures to prevent them.
