Occlusion-driven stress-reduced direct composite (SRDC)

This lecture will introduce the stress-reduced direct composite (SRDC) protocol to predictably restore structurally compromised posterior teeth using a minimally invasive approach. The goal is to maximize the bond and reduce the stress to mimic the functional and optical characteristic of the natural dentition.

Introduction to the Deliperi Protocol: The cycle of tooth preservation vs «The tooth Cycle of death».

Bonding to dentin and enamel: what’s new and what it works? Adhesive systems review and selection, etchrinse vs self-etching vs universal systems.

Guidelines for SRDC restorations (Deliperi et al, 2012):

• Analysis of the occlusion and opposing dentition;

• Cavity preparation and caries removal endpoints;

• Analysis of residual tooth structure;

• Preparation of the dental substrate to achieve a reliable bond to enamel and dentin;

• Control of polymerization stresses by using appropriate layering and curing techniques;

• Occlusal force equilibration. MO, MOD and cusp replacing restorations via SRDC restorations:

• Clinical cases and videos from the Live Patient Demo courses at the Sardinia Dental Teaching Center
