Teeth adhesive preparation: from basics to step-by-step protocols

Aim of the presentation will be a critical review of the latest improvements of dental bonding systems. Chemical background and physical characteristics of the adhesives will be assayed to understand the clinical capabilities and the possible role of the clinician to obtain the highest bonding performances and extend the durability of esthetic bonded restorations.

Clinical step-by-step procedures along with “tips and tricks” to achieve the highest clinical success in terms of aesthetic requirements, biomechanical properties of adhesive restorations, bond strength and stability of the adhesive interface over time will be presented.

The presentation will aim to provide a standardized approach to adhesive dentistry presenting step-by-step protocols of bonded anterior and posterior indirect restorations. The lecture will also provide clinical “tips and tricks” to achieve the highest clinical success in terms of aesthetic requirements, biomechanical properties of bonded restorations, bond strength, and stability of the adhesive interface over time.
