This video explores whether universal adhesives can match the performance of two-step self-etch adhesives like Clearfil SE Bond. While Clearfil is considered the gold standard in self-etching, universal adhesives can be enhanced with an additional hydrophobic layer to improve longevity and adhesi...

Step-by-step of a Hands-On - Resin manipulation in Class I on tooth 16, using a universal adhesive system and cavity filling with flow resin for a thin protective layer, enamel resin, and use of stains. Learn the minimum and ideal power to work with your light-curing device during the restorative...

Clinical case: replacement of an old amalgam restoration with composite resin using selective enamel etching and a two-step adhesive system. Flow resin for cavity margin smoothing, dentin and enamel resin: chromatic/acromatic, and the use of stain for a natural restoration appearance.

Step-by-step guide for finishing and polishing Class IV restoration of tooth 11. Working with secondary anatomy and texture. Sequence of discs, multi-laminated tips, and rubbers for occlusal adjustment and proximal contacts.

Postoperative sensitivity: related to margins and enamel. The highest success rate in case longevity is achieved solely through the use of the adhesive system. Understand the causes of sensitivity, how to prevent it by following the correct operation protocol, and how to remedy it upon recognizin...

Hands-On of a Class II restoration on the premolar using a wedge and matrix. Increment of Tetric N-flow resin by Ivoclar Vivadent after transforming the cavity into Class I. System used: Empress Direct by the same brand.

Conoid lateral incisor: use of aluminum oxide blasting, acid etching, and adhesive system. Use of palatal matrix (silicone guide). Layering: opaque halo, effect resin, dentin, and enamel. Contact point using the click technique.

Understand the causes of enamel hypoplasia and how to solve it. Intervention: stain removal and beveling, isolation, total acid etching, and universal adhesive system. Finishing and polishing with texturization.

Another clinical case of a darkened tooth, in this case, element 21, with minimal preparation (almost 1.0 mm) and beveled finish. Acid etching + adhesive system. Opacifier followed by composite resin layering. Finishing, texturization, and polishing.

Replacement of two unsatisfactory restorations on teeth 46 and 47. Absolute isolation, prophylaxis, selective enamel etching, universal adhesive system. Use of irregular Bulk Fill resin on both elements. Occlusal adjustment and polishing.

Protocol used and taught in the previous video for darkened tooth. Preparation with a diamond bur and beveled finish. Modified isolation, acid etching, and total-etch adhesive system. About 65% of the enamel surface is covered with an opacifier, followed by a layer of dentin and enamel resin. Inc...

Learn the causes of enamel hypoplasia and how to solve it. Intervention: stain removal and bevel, isolation, total acid etching, and universal adhesive system. Finishing and polishing with texturization.

Class I restoration with Bulk Fill Restorative A2 resin on premolars. Advantages of using a single increment of this resin in medium to deep cavities, comparing two different Bulk resin brands. Anatomy of both elements.

Exchange of unsatisfactory restoration with Bulk Fill Flow resin. Marginal finishing with W&H piezo ultrasonic tip. Selective acid etching of enamel and self-etch adhesive system. You can use up to 4 mm layer of flowable resin. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of the technique. Occlusal adj...

Discussion of the main problems in the use and handling of total-etch and self-etch adhesives. Composition and differences between adhesive bottles and primers. Learn in which cases to use each and the ideal adhesive system protocol for dentin to prevent potential future failures.

Chewing sensitivity: adhesive failure. 85% of cases are resolved by replacing the restoration. 15% of cases disappear with the use of anti-inflammatory medication. In this lesson, understand how adhesive failure occurs, how to treat it, and why using glass ionomer helps reduce chewing sensitivity.

Clinical case of closing diastemas in central incisors: use of waxing and absolute isolation. Sandblasting of the enamel surface before acid etching and adhesive system.
