Dentin bonding, state of the art and immediate dentin sealing (IDS) Part 1

This two-part program offers a comprehensive review of the importance of dentin bonding, the cornerstone of biomimetic restorative dentistry. Because the dentin substrate is far more complex than enamel, successful bonding requires careful attention to numerous factors.

Part 1 establishes the benchmark for dentin bonding: emulating the ideal biologic “bond” between enamel and dentin at the dentinoenamel junction (DEJ). The presentation then outlines how to achieve this goal using proven, gold-standard dentin bonding agents through a detailed, step-by-step approach and substantial scientific evidence. It will also cover the application of the immediate dentin sealing (IDS) technique for inlays, onlays, veneers, and even crown preparations.
