4m 28s
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 dentin and the development of bonding systems to dentin, understanding this concept allows practitioners to create a suitable bonding field to achieve the highest possible bond strength.
