Adhesive dentistry continues to evolve rapidly, offering clinicians greater control, versatility, and aesthetic outcomes than ever before. Yet with so many materials and bonding systems available, the challenge lies in knowing how to simplify choices while maintaining predictable results. This lecture provides a comprehensive update on adhesion principles and dental materials with a special focus on modern ceramics and indirect restorative workflows. Participants will explore the science of bonding, from tooth substrate preparation to surface conditioning of ceramics

Learning outcomes

Participants will explore the science of bonding, from tooth substrate preparation to surface conditioning of ceramics, supported by a behind-the-scenes look at laboratory techniques that underpin clinical success. Through clinical cases and practical protocols, the session demonstrates how to achieve reliable adhesion, optimise restorative longevity, and communicate effectively with the laboratory team to ensure seamless integration from preparation to final cementation.
