Bonded Ceramic restorations - Evidence-based Clinical Protocols

Current CAD/CAM ceramics and adhesive bonding technologies offer a range of esthetic, less invasive, and long-lasting treatment options. It is great to see a fast-growing number of colleagues taking advantage of these concepts, helping their patients keeping their natural teeth longer. At the same time, however, the amount of misinformation is growing exponentially, especially on social media, supporting materials and protocols that bear any scientific validation or long-term clinical experience and validation. To ensure our patients the treatment outcomes and longevity they deserve, we have a responsibility to understand the materials and protocols we apply and the science or lack thereof behind them.

This presentation will separate myths from facts, providing evidence-based clinical protocols.

  1. Current evidence-based clinical protocols for bonded ceramic restorations.
  2. How to get sound information to make proper decisions.
  3. Separate myths from facts in modern restorative dentistry.
