Course Info

ADHESIVE DENTISTRY. WHY YOUR STUFF DOESN’T STICK!

All adhesives on the market claim “High Bond Strengths.” How does a practicing dentist even know what that means? You will see how they perform relative to one another when tested on both dentin and enamel. You will also learn how the application of adhesives can be dramatically impacted by you, the practitioner. What we do matters! Learn how curing lights impact this process and get past the marketing hype. Cementation of an indirect prosthesis can be a maze of materials and techniques. We will unravel the confusion with regards to cementing or bonding Zirconia, Lithium Disilicate, and others.

Learning Objectives:

  • How various adhesives compare
  • How to maximize the strength of adhesive
  • Choosing a curing light
  • How to maximize a curing light's potential
  • Cementation of Lithium Disilicate, Zirconia, etc.
