Afshin holds a Ph.D. from University of Minnesota with an emphasis on Polymer Adhesion. He is the recipient of a National Science Foundation Fellowship, 1994-1998 and has authored several full-length peer-reviewed manuscripts, 2 book chapters and holds more than 30 patents and patent applications. He has lectured globally on a broad range of dental materials and has been a reviewer for prestigious journals such as Macromolecules, Langmuir, Journal of Esthetic Restorative Dentistry and European Journal of Oral Science.

Lecture Synopsis:

Crown and bridge appointments should be one of the most predictable, profitable and stress-free dental procedures performed in a dental office. However, there are a myriad of variables routinely encountered.  Efficient success can be achieved by establishing a protocol and understanding the materials involved.  During this course Afshin will discuss the roles cementation and bonding materials play within the crown and bridge procedure. There is a broad spectrum of materials chemistry covering cements used for luting and/or bonding of indirect restoration.  This lecture addresses the materials science of the cements, attributes of different cement categories, and their chemistry/properties relationships. Topic of impression materials will be addressed with a brief overview of a new PE impression material.
