Restorative & Esthetic Dentistry
The Biomimetic Concept: Composite Restoration Protocols
Preserve tooth structure through adhesive and stress-reduced composite techniques.
With Dr. David Alleman, Prof. Junji Tagami and faculty
Course information
A conservative approach to direct composite restoration.
Explore how adhesion, tooth preservation and polymerization-stress control work together in biomimetic restorative dentistry. The course connects anterior composite techniques with restorative strategies for structurally compromised teeth.
Review adhesive systems, tissue-specific bonding, layering and curing, then examine stress-reduced direct composite protocols and the six principles of biomimetic restorative dentistry. The teaching brings material behavior into the preparation and restoration sequence.

Who this course is for
For clinicians working with direct adhesive restorations.
Designed for dentists seeking a more conservative approach to anterior and posterior composite treatment.
Restorative dentists
Connect anterior esthetics, layering and finishing with bonding and material behavior.
Clinicians treating compromised teeth
Explore stress-reduced composite strategies and the management of remaining tooth structure.
Biomimetic principles
Preservation, adhesion and stress control belong together.
A biomimetic approach considers the remaining tooth and the behavior of the restorative material as one system.
Study how preparation, the adhesive interface, incremental placement and curing influence the restorative sequence. The course explores direct techniques rather than treating every damaged tooth as an indication for extensive preparation.
“
Let the remaining tooth structure inform the restorative approach.
What you’ll learn
Connect adhesive principles with direct restorative techniques.
01
Select an adhesive approach
Review enamel and dentin bonding, adhesive systems and the preparation of the bonding surface.
02
Preserve tooth structure
Explore non-invasive and minimally invasive approaches to direct composite restoration.
03
Manage polymerization stress
Study stress-reduced placement and curing protocols for structurally compromised teeth.
04
Refine anterior composites
Connect case planning, layering, anatomical form and finishing in direct esthetic treatment.
Plan the adhesive interface before building the restoration.Direct composite technique
Plan the adhesive interface before building the restoration.
Preparation and isolation support the adhesive stage; material placement, layering and curing then shape the restoration. The source clinical illustration shows anterior composite work with a supporting index.
