Expanding the Bounds of Esthetic Adhesion Dentistry
Zirconia based, cantilever adhesion bridges, proven 100% successful at 10 years.
• Minimally invasive alternative to implants for missing lateral incisors, proven successful
• Why onlay retention form is not only unnecessary but actually is undesirable
• Ceramic or metal restorations bonded to flat, non-retentive onlay preps require over 800 pounds force to dislodge!
• A real world approach to managing polymerization stress and shrinkage.
• A revolutionary bulk fill composite to eliminate polymerization shrinkage problems
• How to make supragingival margins esthetic.
• Why mechanical retention leads to post-op bite pressure sensitivity
• With rare exceptions, why new crowns should only replace existing ones
• Rationale and techniques to make subgingival margins unnecessary.
• Why to never restore a posterior endodontically treated tooth with a full crown
• Ceramic survival data from over 30 years makes the best choices clear
• Why published data makes Unicem and Multilink dubious choices
• Minimizing subgingival difficulties in bonding
• How bonded E Max can achieve about 75% of the strength of monolithic zirconia
• Why “low shrinkage” composites are usually worse than “high shrinkage” composites
• Rationale for materials selection, by brand name
• And much, much more

Raymond L. Bertolotti is a general dentist and a PhD Ceramic Engineer. Perhaps best known for introducing
“total etch” to America, Dr. Bertolotti has been called the Father of Adhesion Dentistry in America. He also introduced Caries Detector, Panavia, intraoral tin plating, self-etching primers and HealOzone. The sectional Contact Matrix system, Microprime B, Accolade PV, “Microetcher” sandblasting, cantilevered adhesion bridges, and intraoral tin-plating are also his innovations. |
