Mastering Adherence: The Secrets to Clinical Success
Dr. Joana Carolina de Nóbrega Vieira
ABOUT THE COURSE Adhesion is the foundation of modern dentistry. However, it continues to be one of the areas where most protocol errors occur — often without the clinician noticing, until the restoration fails prematurely. The difference between a result that lasts and one that fails is almost always in the details of the adhesive protocol. This course was designed for professionals who want to master adhesion based on scientific evidence and direct clinical application — with a biomimetic approach that respects the biology of the tooth and maximizes the longevity of restorations.
What you will learn
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Adhesion fundamentals: the science behind adhesive interfacing and the factors that determine success. Adhesive systems: classification, indications and selection of the right system for each clinical situation. Conditioning protocols: etch-and-rinse vs. self-etch — when to use each and why. Insulation and humidity control: techniques that guarantee ideal conditions for adhesion. Adhesion to different substrates: enamel, superficial dentin, deep dentin, ceramics and metals. Most common errors: identification and correction of protocol errors that compromise longevity. Biomimetic approach: restoration principles that respect the natural structure of the tooth. Clinical cases: step-by-step analysis of adhesive protocols in real clinical situations.
