Excellence in Bonding: Boosting Your Skill And Your Practice
Sam Simos, DDS


Our reputation as clinical dentists delivering esthetic and restorative dentistry is directly dependent upon adhesion! Whether, direct or indirect, adhesion is the foundation for the success of long-term restorations. Individual substrates require a customized protocol for success. From materials to protocols, this presentation simplifies the components of successful adhesion.

Learning objectives:
Participants will be able to:

• Learn why, when given the option, to adhere.
• Learn why indirect self-cure mechanisms rule in indirect dentistry.
• Learn the importance of dual cure systems in less light accessible areas.
• Learn how to adhere to different substrates: enamel/dentin; Zirconia, metal, Lithium Disilicate, and Feldspathic porcelain.
• Learn the evidence-based protocols to successful adhesion.
