"Adhesion Dentistry" is "Tooth-conserving Dentistry"

I'm very energized by a recent dental seminar I attended by Dr. Ray Bertolotti. Ray is a dual degreed dentist and PhD polymer chemist and refers to himself as an "adhesion dentist." Ray is at the cutting edge of understanding the best ways to bond dental materials to each other and to tooth structure. By utilizing modern chemistry that maximizes bond strengths, we can ensure that our dental restorations last longer and provide more conservative treatment options for our patients. For instance, rather than placing a more aggressive, conventional "crown" on a tooth, we can offer more conservative treatments that preserve more tooth structure and minimize the risks of complications (i.e., root canal treatment). "Adhesion Dentistry" = "Tooth-conserving Dentistry." Check out Dr. Bertolotti's website for more details..."http://www.adhesion.com/index.php?page=about_adhesion_dentistry"
