title: Indirect bonding.
abstract: The advantages of indirect bonding have been recognised for more than twenty years. However the technique has not gained widespread acceptance as an alternative to conventional direct bonding. Reports of difficulty in achieving adequate isolation of posterior teeth and problems with resin flash and low bond strength may explain the reluctance of the profession to make use of the technique. This paper describes an improved indirect technique which uses a heat cured bonding resin in a way that appears to overcome the reported problems.
