title: Ceromer/FRC technology: the future of biofunctional adhesive aesthetic dentistry.
abstract: With recent advancements in adhesive technology, restorative materials have evolved to an enhanced level of aesthetics while enabling more conservative cavity preparations and promoting reinforcement of the remaining tooth structure. These restorations have included both anterior and posterior treatment modalities applied directly and indirectly. With a growing awareness on the part of many patients of the possible cosmetic treatment alternatives came the desire for aesthetic, metal-free, durable restorations. This presentation discusses the material properties and clinical protocol of a new material which combines a ceramic optimized polymer with a fiber-reinforced framework for durable, aesthetic anterior and posterior restorations.
