Content:
The
goals of contemporary restorative dentistry and prosthodontics should
be (1) the maintenance of the vitality of the teeth to be restored and
(2) the maximum preservation of sound tooth structure. The core idea of
the biomimetic principle in restorative dentistry and prosthodontics is
that the intact tooth in its ideal hues and shades, and perhaps more
importantly in its intracoronal anatomy, mechanics and location in the
arch, is the guide to reconstruction and determinant of success. The
approach is basically conservative and biologically sound. The
application of the biomimetic principle involves returning all of the
prepared dental tissues to full functional by the creation of a hard
tissue bond that allows functional stresses to pass through the tooth,
drawing the entire crown into the final functional biologic and
esthetic result. Unlike traditional alloy restorations and cemented
crowns, novel-design indirect composite resin/porcelain adhesive
restorations are stress distributors and involve the crown of the tooth
as a whole in supporting occlusal force and masticatory function.
Indirect bonded restorations, also provide the practitioner with a
noninvasive and social restorative tool owing to the minimum
maintenance costs. One can anticipate considerable improvements such as
in the treatment of crown-fractured and worn-down teeth, which should
reduce the need for preprosthetic interventions (e.g. root canal
therapy and crown-lengthening) and the use of intraradicular posts.
Learning Objectives:
-
Understand the definition and scientific foundations of the biomimetic principle in restorative dentistry and prosthodontics
-
Determine the spectrum of indication for indirect bonded restorations
-
Learn optimization of tooth preparation and dentin bonding procedures in anterior and posterior teeth
