Adhesive Dentistry and Bioactive Materials: Is Newer Always Better?
Boston, MA •Thursday, November 17, 2016 • 6 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Join TUSDM Continuing
Education and Dr. Gerry Kugel for this special evening course! The lecture will
take place over dinner at the beautiful Tufts Dental School.
There are a plethora of bonding agents and cements on the market. This lecture reviews new materials and techniques in an effort to improve treatment outcomes, from prevention to restoration, highlighting the new class of bioactive/biomimetic materials. Techniques and tools to enhance the long-term maintenance of dentition will be reviewed in order to help prevent the need for future restoration. Questions are arising as to the longevity and appropriateness of current resin material systems and the new generation of bonding agents. Researchers have begun to develop advanced acid-base restorative alternatives to help with the limitations seen with restorative and luting needs. Discussion will include these new materials and their help in producing better and longer lasting bioactive and protective restorations, as well as in improving our bonding results.
Topics covered will include:
- Advantages and disadvantages of the different generations of bonding
- Self-etch and enamel bonds
- Avoiding postoperative sensitivity
- 6th and 7th Generation bonding - are they really better?
- Understand why resin-bonded restorations and bonding systems are being questioned
- Learn what bioactive materials are, and how they work
