Adhesive cementing in Dentistry by Patrick van Looy

This lecture will provide a comprehensive overview of adhesive dentistry, equipping participants with a foundational understanding of the materials, techniques, and considerations for achieving successful and long-lasting dental restorations

We look into the details and possibilities of luting indirect materials for instance to tooth tissue. Dentin is a very complex substance for a long term stable adhesion but it is not impossible to achieve. The starting points are the adhesive principles of dentistry.

Ceramics create, in spite of what may be thought, less of a challenge on the condition that the correct technical procedures are followed. Every material requires its own specific treatment. The correct way to treat a substrate makes perceived complicated adhesive procedures much easier.

Learning goals:

• How to adhere to a substrate, micro-mechanically as well as chemically.
• How to correctly prepare a surface for adhesion and which materials to use.
• Understand the characteristics of 10-MDP monomer.
• Understanding the differences between different dental ceramics.
