Restorations often fail from composite shrinkage, which exposes teeth to reinfection and leaves gaps that cause post-operative sensitivity. The solution: Decoupling with Time.
Dr. David Alleman, DDS, developed this concept while researching protocols for improving bond strengths to dentin. Considering that advancements in adhesive dental materials now give practitioners the ability to create bonds to dentin that mimic a natural tooth’s connection to itself, why do patients still experience post-operative sensitivity and debonded restorations? Variables in substrate and prep design can greatly decrease bond strengths. Decoupling with Time brings predictability to adhesive restorations, creating a bond to dentin at the nanometer level that seals bacteria from the pulp and stays bonded for decades.
👉 Doctors will learn about hybrid layer development and how this affects adhesive restorations.
👉 Doctors will learn the "adhesive equation" and how bond strengths and stresses are managed in adhesive dentistry.
👉 Doctors will learn techniques to increase bond strengths to dentin while decreasing stresses to the hybrid layer.
Dr. David S. Alleman, DDS has over 40 years of experience as a dentist, currently practicing in Utah, USA. After seeing the results of traditional dentistry — symptomatic restorations that failed over time — he spent over eleven years pioneering the development of noninvasive dental procedures that addressed these concerns while conserving tooth structure. Dr. Alleman has condensed over 1,400 research articles into his Six Lessons Approach to Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry. This approach offers dentists a set of protocols to perform biomimetic restorations start to finish, providing alternatives to full coverage crowns and an end to sensitivity and recurring retreatment. Dr. Alleman has been using biomimetic procedures in his practice for more than 20 years.
In recent years Dr. Alleman has presented at Congresso Internacional de Odontologia Biomietica in Manaus, Brazil, Congreso Internacional de Odontologia Restauradora Biomimeitca in Santiago, Chile, the International Congress on Adhesive Dentistry in Konya, Turkey, the American Institute of Oral Biology in Palm Springs, CA, and Dental Influencers Alliance 3.0 in Atlanta, GA, among others, and taught at workshops in Hungary, India, Lithuania and at the Alleman Center in Provo, UT.
