Adhesive dentistry has fundamentally altered and literally transformed our field toward significantly longer-lasting and more esthetic dental restorations. Not only because the restorations itself are performing well, but mostly because more dental tissues has been preserved.
The Bio-Emulation group’s philosophy is to observe, preserve and conserve. Re-creating the anatomical form and optical features of the intact tooth ever remains an arduous and challenging task and at times elusive one, both within the clinical and technical dental realms.
Regarding bonded indirect restorations, protocols are actually well standardized and the literature demonstrates similar or even better success rates than conventional cemented restorations over 15Y follow up.
The aim of this presentation is thus to focus on anterior teeth and full mouth reconstructions in daily situations, when decayed, broken or worn teeth have to be restored. A very special care will be dedicated on the basic concepts developpment, that is to say on the fundamental aspects of the preparation and of the cementation procedures (isolating, using the operative microscope, cleaning the decayed tissue, bonding efficiently to various substrates, etc). The smile design will be addressed as well but together with its correlation to functional aspects.
Clinical situations will be also investigated using SEM, in an attempt to understand further, what is really happening beyond the macro clinical vision.
