The Six Lessons Approach to Biomimetic Dentistry
The Six Lessons Approach to Biomimetic Dentistry was founded by Dr David Alleman. It is the culmination of decades of research and extensive literature reviews. The approach aims to provide a systematic way to eliminate caries and cracks into dentin, while connecting the tooth back together with bond strengths in the 30-50 MPa range. A number of stress reduced techniques and protocols are followed in order to provide indirect, semi-direct and direct Biomimetic restoration

The Peripheral Seal Zone Concept by David Alleman and Pascal Magne
In this episode of Dental TV Literature Review, Dr. David Alleman discusses the peripheral seal zone concept, a replicable method for deep caries and crack treatment. Building on research of Takao Fusayama’s students, Drs. Inokoshi and Nakajima, who measured potential bond strengths of carious de...

Martin Brannstrom’s Hydrodynamic Theory of Dentinal Pain
Now almost 40 years after it was originally published, Brannstrom’s paper about The Hydrodynamic Theory of Dentinal Pain can be renamed The Hydrodynamic Source of Dentinal Pain. Understanding how pulpal fluid creates the sensation of pain in teeth with cracks and gaps is the first step to diagnos...

Kishen and Vedantam’s Research on Mechanical Stress-Strain Distribution in Teeth
What does it take to crack a cusp? Dr. David Alleman outlines Anil Kishen and Srikanth Vedantam’s in-vivo study that answers this question for vital and non-vital teeth. By understanding how cracks start in teeth, dentists can modify their prep design to support remaining tooth structure and mini...

Remineralization of Carious Dentin from In-Vivo Research by Akimoto
The remineralization of dentin influences a number of steps in the process of bonding to dentin. Understanding this process from the research of Akimoto guides decisions about prep design and bonding system selection, which will impact the final bond strength of the restoration. In this Dental TV...

Crack Dissection Research by Rodriguez
Engineers have been studying how materials withstand fatigue for decades. Dentists should too. In this episode, Dr. David Alleman discusses engineering research by Rodrigues that outlines proper crack removal and repair and how dentists can apply that to prep design and restorative dentistry.
