Dental Digest Podcast with Dr. Melissa Seibert


May 3, 2021

Dental digest is a dental podcast devoted to evidence based dentistry. A thorough understanding for advanced adhesive dentistry and biomimetic dentistry is necessary for creating composite restorations that last. In this episode, Dr. David Alleman will clear up several misconceptions related to biomimetic dentistry, advanced adhesive dentistry and operative dentistry. One of the greatest misconceptions in dentistry is that enamel obtains a better bond and stronger bond than dentin. While enamel bonding is less-technique sensitive and more straightforward, extensive literature has been published to demonstrate that dentin can obtain a stronger bond. That being said, dentin bonding is far more technique sensitive.

About Dr. David Alleman:

His study of advanced adhesive dentistry began with Dr. Ray Bertolotti. His studies continued to progress under the tutelage of the renowned Dr. John Kois. These two mentors and his passionate dedication evolved into his 10 year/10,000 hour review of the dental literature. This dedication enabled him to formulate the concepts on which advanced adhesive (Biomimetic) dentistry is based.

Other mentors and pioneers he has collaborated with include Dr. Pascal Magne,  Dr. Didier Dietschi, Dr. Gary Unterbrink, and Dr. Geoff Knight.

He formerly partnered with Dr. Simone Deliperi from Sardinia, Italy to pass these techniques on to other motivated dentists. He is a member of the Academy of Operative Dentistry & The International Association for Dental Research.

He has published numerous articles on advanced adhesive techniques that focus on caries detection, increasing long-term bond durability, stress reduction and tooth conservation. He and his son Dr. Davey Alleman founded the Alleman Biomimetic Mastership Program. He has mentored over 500 dentists worldwide.
