The strength and reliability of bonds are essential for ensuring quality, durable restorations. Our upcoming Continuing Education (CE) course, Why Bond Strength Matters—What Is Your Reputation Hanging On? hosted by Ultradent’s Chief Clinical Officer, Dr. Jaleena Fischer-Jessop, DDS, MBA, delves into modern best practices and techniques to ensure optimal bond strength and longevity for your patients. Dr. Fischer-Jessop’s course expands on the concepts explored in our previous course, Shear Bond Strength - How the ISO Gold Standard Testing Method Translates to Everyday Dentistry. Building on the foundations set in Shear Bond Strength, this session promises to further examine the critical role of dental bonding in achieving long-lasting, high-quality restorations.
Demystifying Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is not just about applying adhesives—it's an art backed by science that can significantly impact your clinical outcomes and, therefore, your reputation. Dr. Fischer-Jessop will guide you through the complexities of adhesive dentistry, debunking common myths and shedding light on the real capabilities of bonding agents. Whether it's etching on dentin or enamel, understanding these nuances can dramatically change your approach to restorative dentistry.
Decision-Making in Large Bonded Restorations
Every dental case is unique and making the right choices is crucial for success. Dr. Fischer-Jessop will explore the decision-making process essential for large bonded restorations. Learn how factors like occlusion, canine guidance, and the specific characteristics of tooth surfaces affect your choices of selective etch versus total etch techniques. These insights will empower you to tailor your treatments to each patient's needs, enhancing both the longevity and esthetics of your restorations.
Maintaining Restorations and Managing Outcomes
Beyond the technical application, the maintenance of bonded restorations is vital for patient satisfaction and durability of the work. Dr. Fischer-Jessop will discuss the importance of canine rise for anterior composite veneers and the role of night guards in preserving both the restorations and the natural teeth. Understand how to prevent and manage the effects of wear and tear not just on the restorations but also on the overall oral health of your patients.
