Bonding Basics for Lasting Cosmetic Artistry

Advancements in technology and materials have shifted the field of dentistry. As a result, providers opt to rely more on chemical adhesion over mechanical retention with both their direct and indirect restorations. This paradigm shift of preparation design to a more conservative approach is dependent on an equal shift in our bonding protocols. The road to reliability in adhesive dentistry is paved through consistency and reliance on adhering to science. Developing systems and protocols and sticking to them ensures long term stability with cosmetic restorations. Which in turn results in happy patients with reliable outcomes. But how does one develop the proper systems and protocols? In this CE webinar, providers will learn how to simplify yet optimize their isolation techniques and bonding protocols to achieve more predictable long-term success with both their direct and indirect restorative outcomes.

During this CE webinar, we will
• Review proper isolation of teeth to ensure ideal bonding environment
• Apply bonding protocols to ensure long term stability of all restorations (direct and indirect)
• Understand importance of proper preparation of intaglio surfaces of indirect restorations
• Understand importance on how to properly prepare tooth surface for adhesive protocols
