In this week's episode of our dental podcast we'll be taking a deep dive into adhesive dentistry with Dr. Junji Tagami and guest co-host Dr. Steve Schiffenhaus. Did you know you can earn CE through our dental podcast? To do so, just visit https://dentaldigestinstitute.com/dental-continuing-education/  In this episode you'll learn about the fundamentals of adhesive dentistry and why its revolutionizing traditional dental techniques. You'll also learn about how to properly employ adhesive dentistry. Additionally, you'll learn about caries removal. About Dr. Junji Tagami: Professor Junji Tagami was educated at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), achieving his DDS in 1980 and his Ph.D. in 1984. He was appointed to the Professor and Chair of Cariology and Operative Dentistry, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences at Tokyo Medical and Dental University in 1995. He is still responsible to manage the activities of the department. He is a prolific author who has contributed more than 450 papers to peer-reviewed international journals and some 200 papers to Japanese academic journals in the fields of cardiology, tooth-colored dental restorative systems, the bonding of materials to dental tissues, and dental education. His background in research on the mechanism and structure of caries is believed to be one of the most important factors orienting adhesion as a means of achieving minimally invasive dentistry. The development of the Optical Coherent Tomography(OCT) for dental diagnosis and application for laboratory material testing is one of his outstanding achievements in recent years. As the vice president and past dean of TMDU, he is a man of great power, influence, and potential in academic dentistry. As the chair of Cariology and Operative Dentistry, he has supervised over 150 graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from Japan and around the world in the past 20 years, some of whom have become prominent academicians themselves in Japan, North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia. Because of his contribution to dental research and education, he was awarded Honorary Degrees from King’s College of London and Mihidol University in Thailand, and the distinguished scientist award, Wilmer Souder Award, from IADR.   

In this episode we will have the opportunity to learn from a pivotal researcher in Biomimetic dentistry. Dr. Sema Belli has led the charge in studying Ribbond. Ribbond themselves state the following on their website: "Ribbond significantly increased the microtensile bond strength when it was used as a liner in the base of cavities with a high c-factor. This has been clinically demonstrated to avoid the problems that commonly occur in high c-factor situations." This claim is substantiated by the work of Dr. Sema Belli. Dr. Sema Belli graduated from Marmara University in Istanbul Turkey and received her PhD from the Department of Operative Dentistry from Selçuk University, Konya, Turkey. She is now Professor and Chair of the Department of Endodontics at Selçuk University. This impressive woman has been a vanguard in studying one of Ribbond's pivotal applications in operative dentistry.
