History, Chemistry and Why They Matter in Dentistry
Manage episode 389500446 series 3536908
A long-lasting dental restoration comes down to molecules. Dr. David Alleman breaks down the research timeline of developing adhesives that can bond to dentin, and you don’t have to share his love of chemistry to appreciate how impactful that is to the field of dentistry.
These adhesives were available to dentists as early as 1951, but just using an adhesive containing a proven molecule does not guarantee success in a dental restoration.
Understanding materials and how they interact with a natural tooth are part of Lessons 3 and 4 in Dr. David Alleman’s Six Lessons Approach to Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry. These lessons turn discussions about molecules’ interaction with dentin into actionable steps for practitioners.
