The ABCs of Adhesive Bonding and Cementation
Presenter: Dr. Thomas Dudney CE Supporter: Bisco
While dental material and techniques have continued to improve, the options facing dentists when choosing adhesives and cements have increased to the point where making decisions can often be confusing. This CE webinar will discuss the different generations of adhesives, (including the new universal adhesives), total-etch, self-etch, and selective etch techniques, and how and when to use them clinically in an effort to simplify and help clear up some of the confusion. In addition, this webinar will discuss conventional cementation vs. adhesive resin cementation, resin-modified glass ionomer, self-adhesive resin, ion releasing, and light-cure and dual cure adhesive resin cements. Lastly clinical cases will be shown to demonstrate the use of these adhesives and cements including the proper protocols for treating the tooth and the restoration when adhesively bonding either glass ceramics like lithium disilicate or zirconia.

The modern dental professional is better prepared to diagnose and execute complex cases today than ever before, yet one major hurdle remains unchanged: the patient's financial ability to accept treatment. Financing solutions were developed to help patients overcome cost as a barrier, yet they continue to underserve you and your patients—88% of dental professionals report they are not completely satisfied with their existing solution. This CE webinar reviews the flaws with financing and how practices are modernizing their approach with a new technology that expands patient acceptance of extensive treatment, resulting in increased productivity and completion of cases that would otherwise not be treated.

• Be able to deliver undetectable direct composite restorations
In this second part of the 2 part live panel discussion, Drs. Robert A. Lowe and John C. Comisi from the Medical University of South Carolina, James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine in Charleston, SC discuss the use of heated composites in direct restorative dentistry. For many years, composite materials have been described as “packable” and “condensable”. Is this actually true? In this segment, the doctors will take a ”deep dive” into the myriad of composite materials and placement techniques and discuss how heated composites can help solve many of the common problems encountered in “every day” practice.
