ACDE Webinar Series
The Association for Continuing Dental Education (ACDE), along with 37 of its member schools, is jointly providing a series of live webinars. This series features university-based key opinion leaders presenting numerous topics on multiple dates and times. Presentations are available to meet every dental professional’s schedule and interests.
Course Description
Adhesive Dentistry has transformed the treatment planning and procedural steps in modern dentistry. The use of adhesive systems and polymeric materials such as resin composites, coupled with ceramics, enables clinicians to preserve more sound dental structures during restorative procedures while achieving exceptional esthetic results with robust mechanical strength and longevity. However, the high technique sensitivity of these procedures can result in issues like marginal gaps, color alteration, marginal staining, reduced mechanical strength, de-bonding, reduced longevity, post-operative sensitivity, and others. Proper technique and correct material selection are crucial for successful restorative procedures. This course aims to provide evidence-based information to clinicians, explaining how to apply complex concepts to clinical practice in a straightforward manner.

At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Describe the different types of adhesive techniques and the most recent dental materials (adhesive systems, resin composites, resin cements, and ceramics).
- Select the appropriate restorative system (ceramic, metal, composite, adhesive system, resin cement) for each substrate and clinical situation.
- Identify the problems and limitations of current adhesive techniques and materials.
- Use guidelines to minimize errors and increase the longevity of adhesive restorations.
