    Show notes

    Composite shrinkage is unavoidable, but improper curing in deep restorations can increase the risk of poor bonding, gap formation, and microleakage.

    In this episode of Bonding and Beer, Rolando breaks down the Low Shrinkage Technique and explains why light-curing distance matters, how curing intensity can vary, and why a composite that feels hard may not necessarily be fully polymerized.

    We discuss how dual-cured adhesives and restorative materials can help reduce dependence on light activation in deep areas of the preparation, along with practical ways to improve curing predictability and help minimize microleakage.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    • Composite polymerization shrinkage
    • Microleakage and secondary caries
    • Light-curing distance and intensity
    • Depth of cure
    • Using a radiometer to check curing-light output
    • Dual-cure materials in deep restorations
    • The Low Shrinkage Technique

    Are 3D-printed dental resins ready for permanent restorations, or does the technology still have some work to do?

    Welcome to Episode 50 of Bonding and Beer! This week, Dr. Rolando Nuñez sits down with Dr. Jeff Trembley to discuss one of the fastest evolving technologies in restorative dentistry: 3D-printed resins. Dr. Trembley is an expert on the subject and has been perfecting his craft with 3D-printed resins since 2018. He explains how far this technology has come and breaks down what clinicians need to know before incorporating 3D-printed resins into their practice.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    - The Evolution of Dental 3D Printing
    - 3D-Printed vs. Milled Restorations
    - Strength, Materials & Clinical Success
    - The Limitations of 3D-Printed Resins
    - The Future of 3D Printing in Dentistry

    Whether you’re already using a dental 3D printer or just starting to explore the technology, this conversation will help you better understand its current capabilities, limitations, and potential role in your practice.

    Show notes

    What does it really mean when a dental material is called biocompatible and does that mean it can’t be toxic?

    In Episode 49 of Bonding and Beer, Rolando Nuñez breaks down the difference between toxicity and biocompatibility, why those terms are often confused, and what they actually mean in clinical dentistry.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    - What biocompatibility means in dentistry
    - How toxicity is different from biocompatibility
    - Why pulpal health and direct pulp contact matter
    - Why resin-based materials can show cytotoxicity in laboratory studies
    - The difference between in vitro findings and clinical performance
    - How polymerization, technique, and case selection can influence outcomes
    - Why understanding a material’s proper indication is critical for clinical success

    Just because a material may demonstrate toxicity under certain experimental conditions does not automatically mean it is unsafe or inappropriate for clinical use. Understanding how the material is intended to be used, and following the proper clinical protocol is essential when interpreting the research.

    Show notes

    How much should scientific literature actually influence your clinical decisions—and how do you know which dental research to trust?

    In Episode 48 of Bonding & Beer, Dr. Rolando Nuñez explores how scientific literature shapes clinical decision-making in dentistry, from understanding evidence-based dentistry to recognizing the important differences between in vitro research and clinical studies.

    With new research constantly being published, and studies sometimes reaching conflicting conclusions, knowing how to evaluate the evidence can be just as important as finding it in the first place.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • How scientific literature influences everyday clinical decisions
    • What evidence-based dentistry really means
    • In vitro research vs. clinical studies—and why the difference matters
    • How to approach conflicting research and potentially misleading narratives
    • What dentists should look for when evaluating a clinical study
    • Why one study rarely tells the entire story
    • How evidence, clinical expertise, and patient circumstances work together
    • Why safety and efficacy should remain at the center of material selection

    The key takeaway? Evidence-based clinical decision-making isn't about finding one article that supports a conclusion. It's about identifying the clinical question, searching the literature, critically evaluating the evidence, applying it alongside your clinical expertise and the patient's circumstances, and evaluating the outcome.

    Show notes

    In Episode 47 of Bonding & Beer, Rolando Nunez breaks down 3 key characteristics that make an adhesive a good adhesive: convenience, compatibility, and water content.

    When it comes to dental adhesives and universal bonding agents, convenience doesn't always mean better performance. Compatibility can determine whether your adhesive works predictably with other dental materials. And water content can influence both the chemistry of the adhesive and its resistance to hydrolytic degradation over time.

    In this episode, we discuss
    • Convenience in dental adhesives - What makes an adhesive easy to use? What are the tradeoffs?
    • Adhesive compatibility - Open architecture and closed architecture adhesives
    • Water content in dental adhesives - Why do dental adhesives contain water and why does water content matter?
    • Examples of universal adhesives and dental boding agents that we believe nail the most important aspects of an adhesive.

    In this episode of Bonding & Beer, we continue our conversation on mechanical retention by shifting our focus from the restoration to the tooth structure itself. We break down why mechanical retention is one of the most important factors in achieving predictable, long-lasting bonds, and why understanding the differences between enamel and dentin can make or break your restorative success. From the history of acid etching to modern techniques like sandblasting and self-etching, we explore how proper surface preparation creates the foundation for optimized bonding.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    • What mechanical retention really is
    • Why mechanical retention is essential for predictable bonding
    • The differences between enamel and dentin as bonding substrates
    • Creating proper mechanical retention with: phosphoric acid etching, sandblasting, and self-etch techniques

    In Episode 44, Rolando Nuñez takes a closer look at one of the most fundamental (and often overlooked) principles of adhesive dentistry: mechanical retention. With today's advanced adhesives and primers, it's easy to focus entirely on chemistry. But even the best bonding systems depend on proper surface preparation to achieve predictable, long-lasting results. In this episode, we discuss why mechanical retention still matters, how it impacts bond strength, and the critical role it plays when bonding to today's most common restorative materials.

    In this episode we discuss:
    • What mechanical retention is and why it matters
    • How hydrofluoric acid etching and sandblasting create retention
    • Common mistakes that can weaken restorations
    • How to properly prepare the top 4 dental substrates for optimal bonding
