Synopsis

Adhesive dentistry properly used, is minimally invasive, cost effective, and with excellent long-term outcomes! Adhesive dentistry has revolutionized dentistry and today we know more than ever before! Complete understanding and trust in adhesive dentistry is a must. In this one-day lecture pioneers of adhesive dentistry, Dr. Bertolotti and Dr. Ruiz, provide simple, clear real-world updates on the state of the art in adhesive dentistry and will show how minimally invasive adhesive dentistry, is a real-world clinical approach making adhesive dentistry simple and predictable! Dr. Bertolotti will share his thoughts on how to be a successful general dentist and Dr. Ruiz will provide tips and adhesive restorative techniques. Early adopters of adhesive dentistry, and UCSF faculty, Dr. Ram Vaderhobli and Dr. Joel White, get into the “nuts and bolts” of restorative technique and the evidence supporting this minimally invasive philosophy. Join us in furthering your knowledge of adhesive dentistry and how to use it to its true potential!

Objectives

Understand and Apply Adhesive Dentistry Principles:

  • Describe the science behind adhesive bonding, including the latest advancements in bonding agents and protocols.
  • Differentiate between various bonding systems and select the appropriate adhesive strategy based on clinical scenarios. Learn best techniques for adhesive dentistry and predictable outcomes
  • Learn the advantages of nonrestorative treatment and restoration repair

Enhance Clinical Outcomes in Composite Restorations:

  • Demonstrate proper techniques for placing direct composite restorations with optimal contacts, minimal sensitivity, and enhanced aesthetics.
  • Utilize composite manipulation techniques to achieve natural morphology, shade integration, and longevity.

Implement Advanced Adhesive Techniques for Specialized Restorations:

  • Execute intraoral porcelain repair techniques using adhesive protocols to restore fractured ceramic restorations without replacement.
  • Integrate Ribbond® fiber reinforcement for anterior tooth replacement and structural reinforcement of composite restorations.
  • Apply the sandwich technique, glass ionomer, and flowable composites in restorative procedures for enhanced clinical performance.

Master Adhesive Cementation of Indirect Restorations:

  • Identify the appropriate resin-based cementation technique for all-ceramic crowns, and posts to improve bond strength and longevity.
  • Compare and contrast different luting agents and their indications for successful adhesive cementation.
  • Indications of anterior and posterior adhesive bridges may change your dentistry practice!
  • Preparation design for anterior and posterior bonded bridges.
  • How to bond to zirconia simply and with stronger bonds than those possible to etched enamel.
  • Why adhesion bridges are usually the best option for young patients. (It’s not just about conservation of tooth structure.)
  • Preparation design and cementation of indirect bonded restorations.
  • Intra-oral repair of porcelain & composite restorations.
  • Partial replacement of porcelain restorations, simple and predictable.
  • Review how and why to perform a minimally invasive oral rehabilitation.
  • Review of adhesives, techniques, and supra-gingival principles.
