Composite restorations in teeth treated with bioceramic sealers present unique clinical challenges that differ significantly from conventional cases. This lecture aims to explore common myths surrounding bonding to bioceramic-sealed dentin, highlight the specific difficulties encountered in achieving durable adhesion, and propose evidence-based clinical strategies to optimize outcomes. Through a review of the latest research and clinical case discussions, participants will gain practical insights into surface cleaning protocols, adhesive selection, and technique modifications necessary for success. Special focus will be placed on microscope-assisted evaluation and management of access cavities contaminated with bioceramic sealers. The session will conclude with a summary of key recommendations and future perspectives in restoring bioceramic-treated teeth with aesthetic composites.
