Indirect Bonded Restorations – The Whole Way Through
with David Gerdolle (@davidgerdolle)
7 & 8 May 2026
When talking about bonded indirect restorations, protocols are actually well standardized and the literature demonstrates similar or even better success rates than conventional cemented restorations over 15Y follow up.
The aim of this course is thus to focus on posterior teeth and full mouth reconstructions in daily situations, when decayed, broken or worn teeth have to be restored.
A very special care will be dedicated on the basic concepts
development, that is to say on the fundamental aspects of the preparation and of the cementation procedures (isolating, using the operative microscope, cleaning the decayed tissue, bonding efficiently to various substrates, etc.).
Clinical situations will be also investigated using SEM, in an attempt to understand further, what is really happening beyond the macro clinical vision…
This live course will take place on 7 & 8 May 2026
