🔴Two overlays without IDS … three years follow up. I took this picture for my patient today, three years after completing these two overlays.
🔺️ I share it with you to elicit your feedback and your experience with IDS (Immediate dentine seal) since it remains a controversial topic for a years after Pashley et al., 1990 originally introduced it.
⭕The most recent paper I read on this subject was A Literature Review by Samartzi et al., 2021, in which they provide a spectacular and informative conclusion➡️ “ The IDS technique seems to be advantageous with regard to bond strength, gap formation, bacterial microleakage, and dentin hypersensitivity. However, issues arising from inter-action with impression materials, the provisional phase, and conditioning methods before cementation require further investigation. 🔃There are no documented reasons preventing clinicians applying IDS in their everyday practice”
