Bonded Restorations Reimagined: New Perspectives on Materials, Preparation Designs, and Clinical Indications

Bonded restorations have transformed the landscape of modern restorative dentistry by enabling conservative approaches with excellent esthetic and functional outcomes. This lecture reimagines bonded restorations through the lens of evolving materials, innovative preparation designs, and expanded clinical indications. Advancements in adhesive systems and composite resins have enhanced the longevity and performance of bonded restorations, allowing for minimally invasive techniques without compromising strength. The integration of bioactive and nanohybrid materials offers new dimensions in both preventive and reparative dentistry. In parallel, preparation designs have shifted from traditional mechanical retention to biologically driven concepts that preserve tooth structure and support tissue health. Clinical indications have broadened beyond anterior restorations to include posterior teeth, full-coverage alternatives, and complex rehabilitations. This session presents updated evidence, case-based insights, and practical guidelines to help clinicians make informed decisions in selecting the most appropriate bonded restorative strategy for each clinical situation.
