Session Description:
Dental bonding revolutionized the shape and content of clinical dentistry, presenting a durable minimally invasive alternative to the traditional approach. Thanks to the strong bonding achieved by functional monomers and multi-step adhesives such as the two-step self-etching adhesive, retention form for an intracoronal adhesive restoration is not considered a challenge anymore; however, sealing is still considered a critical issue. Polymerization shrinkage stress still affects all kinds of bonded restorations. Our research methodology is based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and presented a systematic approach to evaluate the bonded interface of resin composites. We showed that in addition to debonding, the shrinkage stress can induce and propagate tooth cracks; OCT is a unique tool for assessment, both in vitro and clinically. Today, tooth crack is a major concern in restoration of structurally compromised teeth, particularly those previously treated with the traditional dentistry. Biomimetic and adhesive reconstruction of a cracked tooth requires a structural approach, which relies on adhesion, mimics the properties of the natural tissues, and presents a mechanism to mitigate the internal and external functional stresses, such as the fiber-reinforced composites. This presentation introduces a concept for structural adhesive dental restorations.

Learning Objectives:
At conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Understand optical coherence tomography and its application in restorative dentistry
- Learn about early diagnosis of cracks and management strategies using structural adhesive dentistry
- Become familiar with the concept of stress reduction using fiber-reinforced composites

Dr. Ali Sadr received his DDS degree from the National University of Iran (SBMU), and completed his PhD with advanced training in operative dentistry in Tokyo Medical and Dental University, mentored by Prof. Junji Tagami in 2008. He has focused on advanced technology research, mainly dental adhesives, and fiber-reinforced composites. He made a major contribution to develop optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging for non-invasive diagnosis of caries and cracks. He is currently the director of operative dentistry at UW, while mentoring researchers and practicing dentistry. Dr. Sadr has published over 200 peer-reviewed articles with over 7600 scientific citations. He has presented lectures and workshops in 20 countries. He received the UW Faculty Award for his operative dentistry training courses for 3 years in a row since 2019. In 2022, Dr. Sadr received the IADR Dental Materials Career Award (The Bayne Award) recognizing his significant contribution to the science and application of dental materials research.
