There is a need for adhesive technology when any type of restoration is to be placed on the tooth surface. So, the knowledge about thIS evolving technology of dental hard tissue bonding is necessary for every dentist, So that the longevity of the esthetic dental restorations can be increased. The core concepts of the dentin bonding agents are narrated briefly and tabulated with recent trends and strategies. This book will show light on the basic adhesion concepts and recent advancements in dentin bonding agents.

Biocompatibility of dental materials has evolved into a comprehensive, complex, and independent discipline of dental materials science. Materials used in dentistry come into direct contact with the oral mucosa, the pulp, the periapical tissues & the hard tissues of the teeth. Due to the long-term contact, the materials should exhibit a high degree of biocompatibility. Only products with a proven biocompatibility should be used. In this book, the biocompatibility of endodontic materials has been discussed.

Recent advances in root canal obturation have significantly improved treatment outcomes through the development of bioceramic sealers, which offer superior biocompatibility, bioactivity, and antibacterial properties. and expand slightly upon setting to enhance sealing. Additionally, advanced imaging and 3D printing technologies have enabled better visualization and handling of complex canal anatomies, while hydraulic compaction techniques, including those utilizing ultrasonic activation, ensure more homogenous fills with fewer voids, further enhancing the effectiveness and predictability of...

Dental bleaching, or teeth whitening, is a cosmetic procedure designed to lighten teeth and remove stains and discoloration caused by aging, consumption of staining substances, and certain medications. The process can be performed in-office by a dentist using high-concentration bleaching agents and special lights or lasers for quick results, or at home with custom-made trays and lower-concentration gels over several weeks. Over-the-counter products, such as whitening toothpastes and strips, offer more gradual results. The active ingredients, hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide, break...

3D-guided endodontics is a cutting-edge, technology-driven method that provides a secure and dependable solution for addressing both partial and complete root canal calcifications, as well as root end surgeries. Advances in CBCT imaging and software now allow clinicians to easily evaluate root canal anatomy, project canal pathways, and estimate working lengths, facilitating accurate pre-treatment planning. This technology also allows for the creation of precise jaw models, eliminating the need for potentially distorted and inconvenient impressions. Additionally, this book will emphasize the...
