Six Lessons Approach Podcast by Dr. David Alleman Dental Concepts that Shaped a New Adhesive Dentistry: Biomimetic Dentistry
With the invention of new materials for restorative dentistry, new techniques for application were needed. Research in bonding to dentin showed bond strengths that approached the cohesive strength of a tooth, but getting this research into the hands of practicing dentists was another process entirely.
As Dr. David Alleman was learning and researching new protocols in adhesive dentistry, his questions about why debonds occurred in select areas of the tooth led to his formulation of the concepts of the hierarchy of bondability and decoupling with time, all while creating his Six Lessons Approach to Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry. These new concepts that built on a foundation of dental research from the past four decades gave dentists anywhere the ability to bond predictably to deep dentin and restore the tooth in a way that mimicked the form and function of a natural tooth: biomimetic dentistry.
