Immediate dentin sealing is a commonly known technique even outside of advanced adhesive and biomimetic restorative dentistry. Originally developed in the 1990’s to solve the issue of temporization contamination, its uses once refined were immense when applied to dentin adhesion. Yet for doctors currenting using immediate dentin sealing as part of their restoration protocols, there may be more benefits left untapped when not used as part of a larger system of protocols that aim to mimic the natural function of a tooth: the Six Lessons Approach to Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry.
Dr. Alleman discusses the history of immediate dentin sealing, its early pioneers and how doctors can use this technique in their own practice to save pulps and maximize adhesion.
