Principles of Adhesion Dentistry (Second Edition) is an indispensable resource for dental professionals seeking a deeper understanding of dental materials and their clinical applications. Drawing on decades of experience in teaching, research, and product development, Dr. Byoung Suh—founder and owner of BISCO Dental Products—distills the complex science of dental adhesion into practical, operatory-ready knowledge. Whether you're an experienced clinician or a student in training, this book empowers you to make informed, confident decisions about adhesives and restorative materials, the cornerstone of modern restorative dentistry.
One of the most significant challenges in contemporary dentistry is navigating the ever-expanding array of products and understanding how—and why—they work. While many clinicians appreciate the importance of bonding materials, the underlying science can often feel overwhelming, particularly when condensed into a single course or lecture. Dr. Suh bridges this gap with a clear, accessible format that allows readers to learn at their own pace. Each chapter is structured into three parts: Clinical Significance, In-Depth Information, and Summary, making it easy to tailor the reading experience to your level of interest and need.
Comprehensive in scope, the book explores a wide range of topics, including adhesive and bonding technologies, resin systems, comparative evaluations of current products, and restorative protocols. It provides a rare combination of chemical insight and clinical relevance, linking material science with real-world applications. Dr. Suh excels at explaining not only how materials work, but why they work—bringing clarity to concepts that are often seen as intimidating or opaque.
Understanding the fundamentals of material science is not merely academic, it is critical to long-term clinical success. Reliable adhesion is the foundation of virtually all restorative procedures, from routine fillings to complex rehabilitations and full-mouth reconstructions. This book offers more than just information—it fosters confidence in clinical technique and decision-making. As Dr. Gary Alex notes in the foreword: “Knowledge is power. Understanding the materials you are using, why you are using them, and having at least some idea of what they are actually doing can only make you a better dentist.”
Principles of Adhesion Dentistry is a must-read for dental professionals committed to improving their bonding techniques, refining their material choices, and delivering durable, predictable outcomes. Whether you're revisiting the fundamentals or exploring advanced topics, this book will be a trusted companion throughout your clinical journey.
