Since 2017, she has been serving as the President of the Turkish Society of Restorative Dentistry. She participated in the scientific committees of many national and international congresses and served as the congress president. She has many national and international scientific publications on adhesive dentistry and dental materials, co-authored of book chapters on Restorative Dentistry
Success and Failures of Adhesive Restorations in Worn Dentition
One of the critical problems frequently encountered in developed societies in recent years and affects all age groups is tooth wear. Destructive tooth wear generally occurs due to chemical and mechanical factors, such as erosion and abrasion, along with parafunctional habits. They are progressive, and in advanced cases, they cause a decrease in the vertical dimension of the patient, creating a more challenging clinical problem for the patient and the dentist. The contemporary restorative treatment approach in such cases can be applying additive adhesive restorations that protect the remaining dental hard tissues along with the protection against chemical factors and parafunction. Throughout the presentation, in light of scientific data and clinical cases, the etiological factors of different types of tooth wear, the planning and application of direct and indirect additive adhesive restorations, and their success and failures will be discussed.
Learning objectives
- At the end of the presentation, participants will be able to: Define different types of tooth wear
- Select the type of additive adhesive restoration and material according to the remaining dental hard tissues, vitality of the tooth and specific occlusion of the patient
- Choose suitable adhesive luting materials and techniques according to the type of restorative material
- Define protection against tooth wear and their restorations
Success and Challenges in Partial Indirect Adhesive Posterior Restorations
Partial indirect adhesive posterior restorations represent an increasingly performed restorative option in the rehabilitation of vital and endodontically treated teeth (ETT). According to the minimally invasive approach, these restorations on vital teeth are necessary in cases where there is extensive coronal loss due to destructive carious lesions or fractures that may compromise the longevity of the restoration. Although the risk of failure seems much higher for partial adhesive restorations on ETT than for those on vital teeth, in recent years, partial indirect adhesive posterior restorations have become a valid alternative to conventional crown restorations. Moreover, the continuous evolution of clinical techniques and materials available using CAD/CAM systems enables different types of partial adhesive restorations in patients, even with occlusal risk factors. In this presentation, based on clinical trials, evidence-based dentistry results and clinical cases, indications, preparation designs, luting procedures, and long-term outcomes of different types of adhesive partial posterior restorations fabricated from various restorative materials on vital and ETT will be discussed.
