        Adhesión dental

        Manual Clínico

        by José Luis Padrós and Cols

        How can we achieve a good adhesive bond to the scleral dentin, or to the deciduous or to the dentin inside a root canal? How can we adequately promote the adhesion of different products to the surface of materials such as zirconium oxide, titanium, hybrid ceramics or fiber posts? How to act if our cavity has been accidentally contaminated with saliva, blood, silane, or with a hemostatic agent, for example? In this enjoyable and very especially practical book, the reader will find not only a detailed explanation of the normal processes of adhesion to dental tissues and materials for dental use but also the protocols for action in special situations that We find, inevitably, in routine clinical practice. Supported by clinical cases, a multitude of original electron microscopy images, from different studies published by the authors and from more than 300 bibliographic references from a review of 4,000, the steps to follow in each situation are described based on current scientific evidence. Summary tables of materials and the recommended step-by-step in each circumstance, facilitate understanding and updating of the most reliable clinical protocols to achieve clinical success in the short and long term.   Table of Contents: Index Chapter 1: Practical aspects of dental bonding • 23 • How are the dental structures that we can adhere to? • What are the basic principles of enamel bonding? • What are the basic principles of dentin bonding? • What types of dental adhesives are available to us? • What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of adhesive? • When and why to use a conventional total etch adhesive? • When and why to use a simplified total etch adhesive? • When and why to use a conventional self-adhesive adhesive? • When and why to use a simplified or universal self-adhesive adhesive? • What considerations should we take into account when choosing the adhesive?

Bibliography • 168 Practical techniques based on adhesive procedures are also described, such as, for example, the protection of carved stumps for prostheses, the use of adhesives in the filling of root canals in endodontics, or the cameral sealing technique in internal bleaching. Really easy to read, the book makes the concepts very clear, very ordered and very easy to understand, in a discipline as complex and fundamental to the good practice of current dentistry as that of dental bonding.   link: https://lisermed.com/tienda/implantologia/adhesion-dental-manual-clinico-2ed-jose-luis-padros/

        Las Claves de la prótesis fija en cerámica

        by Ernest Mallat / Juan Cadafalch / Javier de Miguel

        Prosthetic treatments have undergone considerable evolution in recent years, mainly through the use of materials. Not only has the consolidation of materials such as lithium disilicate or zirconium oxide been confirmed, but new materials, either ceramic or hybrid, have also appeared to try to compete with them. The constant evolution in this field forces us to update and describe the precise indications of each one of them based on aesthetics and mechanical properties, as well as all the details related to their clinical manipulation, all in order to to be able to handle these materials in a predictable way in our clinical practice. On the other hand, the presence in our consultations of patients with large wear is becoming more frequent, either only at the level of the anterior teeth or also at the level of the posterior teeth. In these patients there are a series of decisions that must be made that are key to the success of our treatment, such as when to restore only the anterior teeth or when it will be convenient to increase the vertical dimension, what is the first step in planning treatment of worn cases, how we will gain space for the restorative material by palatine, when it will be necessary to resort to other disciplines to complement our treatment, what material will be the most suitable to restore functional areas or what type of restorations will be of choice (vestibular veneers, double veneers or crowns). On the other hand, despite the fact that aesthetics is important, function is not less important and it will be essential in cases of short clinical crowns that we must lengthen, provide a harmonious and effective anterior guide, although as a previous step it should be ruled out that it does not there is a constraint on the function envelope. Lastly, it is necessary to have a clear protocol for increasing the vertical dimension of occlusion, a protocol that describes in detail each of the steps sequentially to resolve the most demanding situations both aesthetically and functionally. This book provides an answer to all these questions while addressing other important aspects such as those related to the modeling of pontic spaces both in healed ridges and in post-extraction ridges or the cementing protocol of the different ceramic systems and hybrid materials. In addition, a chapter is dedicated to the treatment with porcelain veneers, another describes in depth the subject related to color and color diagnosis, another deals with photography from a very practical point of view and, finally, a chapter focuses on the digital flow, the present and future of prosthodontic procedures.
