Biomimetic Approach to the Prosthetic Management of Acid Erosion
Continued advancements in adhesive materials and techniques provide clinicians the ability to preserve tooth structure, optimize bond strengths and restore teeth with biomimetic principles. When applied to prosthodontic procedures, these principles allow for less invasive treatment options by relying on adhesion rather than classic retention and resistance form. This lecture will discuss how concepts of biomimetic dentistry can be readily applied to fixed prosthodontics in the restoration of acid erosion cases.
- Understand what is biomimetic dentistry
- Understand principles of advanced adhesive techniques
- Understand how this approach can be used for prosthetic management of acid erosion
