Adhesive Cementation Step-by-Step

Adhesive placement of semi-(in)direct and indirect restorations demands strict, well-executed protocols to ensure long-term clinical success. This lesson provides a comprehensive, step-by-step overview of the entire workflow, beginning with cement selection and emphasizing the thermo-modified technique. It covers try-in procedures and common corrective scenarios, including management of pre-bonding cracks and color adjustments. A detailed section is dedicated to the surface conditioning of ceramic and composite restorations, with particular attention to silane chemistry guiding clinicians in selecting the appropriate product and optimizing its application. The session then addresses rubber dam isolation using modified clamps, tooth surface preparation, and the precise insertion of veneers and inlays/onlays. It concludes with practical guidance on finishing procedures and post-bonding crack repair techniques.
