ACDE - Simplifying Adhesive Dentistry
Adhesive
Dentistry has transformed the treatment planning and procedural steps
in modern dentistry. The use of adhesive systems and polymeric materials
such as resin composites, coupled with ceramics, enables clinicians to
preserve more sound dental structures during restorative procedures
while achieving exceptional esthetic results with robust mechanical
strength and longevity. However, the high technique sensitivity of these
procedures can result in issues like marginal gaps, color alteration,
marginal staining, reduced mechanical strength, de-bonding, reduced
longevity, post-operative sensitivity, and others. Proper technique and
correct material selection are crucial for successful restorative
procedures. This course aims to provide evidence-based information to
clinicians, explaining how to apply complex concepts to clinical
practice in a straightforward manner.
Course Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, participants will:
- Describe the different types of adhesive techniques and the most recent dental materials (adhesive systems, resin composites, resin cements, and ceramics).
- Select the appropriate restorative system (ceramic, metal, composite, adhesive system, resin cement) for each substrate and clinical situation.
- Identify the problems and limitations of current adhesive techniques and materials.
