Overview:
For more than three decades, adhesives have continued to evolve while promoting each new generation as the best. It is critical for clinicians to understand the science behind adhesives and restorative materials in order to be able to select the best material for each restoration and implement proven techniques in their practice. Are fourth-generation adhesives still the “gold standard”? What is a “universal” adhesive, when and where can you use it, and can it truly be universal? Are calcium hydroxide and resin-modified glass ionomer the first choice for liners and pulp-capping? What are the new options for regenerating tooth structures with bioactive materials? This practical presentation will address these questions and more.

Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to achieve the following:

Understand and discuss the classifications of adhesives and liners.
Learn how to select proper materials and techniques when bonding different types of restorations.
