Nowadays, manufacturers recommend various application modes for applying adhesive systems with no clear demonstration for the advantages or indications of any application mode. This presentation will provide a clear understanding for the differences and advantages of applying each mode during the adhesive procedures.
Moreover, this presentation will summarize our research team’s 20 years of efforts at using the bioactive materials in adhesive dentistry. These efforts resulted in obtaining the US patent of a bioactive adhesive system that is based on “Self-Healing” concept. This concept may improve the clinical performance of the adhesive system and break the chain of the continuous degradation associated with currently available adhesive systems.
