Module 7: Biobase & Ribbond [Self-Instruction – 1.5 CE – AGD Code #250]

In this series of lectures, you will learn what a Biobase is and how it is different from a traditional buildup.  You will be introduced to the concept of the hierarchy of bondability and use this knowledge to minimize shrinkage stress and maximize adhesion to deep dentin.   To reinforce the dentin bond in areas where the hierarchy of bondability is low, the use of Ribbond as a stress breaker will be introduced, along with a recommended step by step protocol for placing Ribbond as part of your Biobase.
