The ABC’s of Adhesive Bonding and Cementation

As adhesives and cements continue to evolve, change, and improve, it becomes more difficult for restorative dentists to keep up with the latest advances. With increasingly higher patient expectations for long term clinical success, it is important that dentists have an understanding of these materials in order to make sound decisions on what to use when and why. This CE webinar will discuss the different generations of adhesives and categories of cements including those with bioactive properties. Clinical cases will be shown to demonstrate the use of these adhesives and cements including the proper protocols that must be followed. Upon completion of this CE Webinar the student will be able to understand: The many benefits of universal adhesives; Which cement to use when and why; The necessary steps for treating the tooth and the restoration when adhesively bonding; How to successfully bond zirconia restorations; Bioactivity and the long-term benefits of bioactive cements.
