OVERVIEW

Adhesive Cementation of Indirect Composite Inlays and Onlays: A Literature Review is organized by Dental Learning Systems, LLC and will be held from Sep 01, 2018 - Sep 30, 2021.

The target audience for this medical event is for Dentists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 2.00 Credits.

Description:
The authors conducted a literature review focused on materials and techniques used in adhesive cementation for indirect composite resin restorations. It was based on English language sources and involved a search of online databases in Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus using related topic keywords in different combinations; it was supplemented by a traditional search of peer-reviewed journals and cross-referenced with the articles accessed. The purpose of most research on adhesive systems has been to learn more about increased bond strength and simplified application methods. Adherent surface treatments before cementation are necessary to obtain high survival and success rates of indirect composite resin. Each step of the clinical and laboratory procedures can have an impact on longevity and the esthetic results of indirect restorations. Cementation seems to be the most critical step, and its long-term success relies on adherence to the clinical protocols. The authors concluded that in terms of survival rate and esthetic long-term outcomes, indirect composite resin techniques have proven to be clinically acceptable. However, the correct management of adhesive cementation protocols requires knowledge of adhesive principles and adherence to the clinical protocol in order to obtain durable bonding between tooth structure and restorative materials.

Learning Objectives:
• Discuss dental adhesive systems from both a historical and current-day perspective
• Explain key differences between various adhesive systems, including etch-and-rinse, self-etch, and self-adhesive
• Describe the various resin cement groups according to polymerization process
