Veneers are a global trend for patients looking to improve their smile esthetics. They are a long-lasting treatment, and the patient loves the result, but they are also a challenge for the dentist. With Success Simplified, 3M proposes a simple protocol to standardize the procedure and help make the best decisions for success. Start by […]
New technologies are changing the therapeutical options to do indirect restorations and new adhesive systems are continuously introduced to be used by clinicians. Different interactions between restorations, adhesive systems components, enamel and dentin require having certain criteria for selection of the adhesive system, thus ensuring the longevity of the restorations and the preservation of the […]
Nowadays various composite materials are available on the market, highly aesthetic with a large selection of shades, and very simple systems which we can use to restore natural aesthetics of the teeth. Different systems require different approaches in restoring natural aesthetics, from multi-layer technique to single-shade technique. In recent years, there has been a trend […]

The diagnostic work-up is the foundation of any successful restorative treatment. This phase of treatment planning provides the restorative team (ie, pacient, dentist and technician) with time to evaluate, visualize and predict the functional and esthetic outcome prior to performing any restorative or surgical procedure. The conference aims at presenting a concept of minimal invasive […]

Everyone who is working with indirect dental restorations knows that material and cement selection is sometimes very challenging. In today’s dentistry metal-free restorations are becoming more popular. Even though we have only few options nowadays, zirconium oxide crowns/bridges, lithium disilicate restorations and layered ceramic veneers, many concerns appeared among dental professionals. What to use for […]
Every day in the office we encounter various composite materials, from highly aesthetic with a large selection of shades, to very simple systems which we use to restore natural appearance of the teeth. Different systems require a different approach in restoring natural aesthetics, from a multi-layered technique to a single-shade technique. In recent years, there […]
3 important key factors for the longevity of non-vital teeth and postendodontic restorations are: – minimally-invasive approach, – protection of residual tooth structure, and – tooth position. The longevity of restorations can be extended by adhesive restorations with or without root canal posts. During the lecture, indications and contraindications for the use of root canal […]
The innovations in adhesion materials and techniques has completely changed dentistry. The shift from macroretention to microretention was possible, thus promoting esthetic and minimal invasive dentistry. Reliable bonding mechanisms between ceramic, composite (cement) and tooth structure made all ceramic restorations feasible and successful. With the right selection of dental adhesives and cements it is possible […]
All ceramic restorations require reliable bonding mechanisms between ceramic, composite (cement) and tooth structure to be feasible and successful. With the right selection of dental adhesives and cements it is possible today to bond the all ceramic restorations to the tooth surface and restore the original strength of the tooth. A meticulous adhesive technique with […]
Various adhesive systems and resin cements can be found on the market today that enable quality results. However, their problem is the need to carry out a relatively complicated adhesive procedure, etching, applying adhesives and primers. Improper handling can result in postoperative sensitivity, secondary caries or debonding of restorations. And everyone who is working with […]
Dental Cements in 2021: Still the key to success and longevity Important advances and innovations in dentistry have changed the way we treat our patients. One of the top-ranking advances in restorative dentistry is the advent of adhesive materials and adhesion to the dental hard tissues, where the adhesive interface plays a crucial role in […]
