Q&A: Clinical Strategies Shaping Predictable Adhesive Outcomes
A discussion with Matthew R. Miller, DDS
-
1
Successful adhesion is defined by long-term marginal integrity and restoration functionality, not just initial bond strength.
-
2
Proper isolation and effective light curing are critical challenges in achieving durable dentin adhesion.
-
3
Simplification in adhesive systems can enhance workflow but may compromise performance if chemistry is overly simplified.
-
4
Most adhesive failures stem from clinical technique and protocol deviations rather than material limitations.
-
5
Consistency in adhesive systems is essential for reliable outcomes across different clinical techniques and workflows.
