What’s New in the Lab?
Evidence-Based Updates for Biomimetic Dentists
Join Us: Saturday, December 6th, 12:00 pm Eastern Time / 9:00 am Pacific Los Angeles Time
What You Will Learn
To provide biomimetic dentists with evidence-based updates from current materials research, focusing on adhesive protocols, ceramic bonding strategies, composite performance, and emerging applications of 3D printing in restorative dentistry. Attendees will leave with clinically relevant insights they can incorporate immediately into adhesive, indirect, and restorative workflows.

Guest Presentation: Fast-Cure Protocols for Immediate Dentinal Sealing
Guest Presenter: Dr. Pouya Sabanik
Dr. Pouya Sabanik will present his recent research exploring whether fast-curing protocols can effectively polymerize immediate dentinal seals without compromising bond strength or marginal integrity. His findings suggest that high-intensity, short-duration curing may offer a time-efficient alternative to conventional methods—supporting both clinical efficiency and biomimetic principles.
