[Online survey on adhesive dentistry: the results]

In the months leading up to this special issue on adhesive dentistry, an online survey was conducted on various aspects of this. This survey was completed by 133 people, with a similar number of men and women. The results show that half of the oral care providers apply a rubber dam for adhesive restorations. The vast majority prefer to manufacture partial indirect restorations and the majority apply an IDS layer during dentine exposure. The choice of adhesive is not determined by time savings, but the dental technician often pre-treats the indirect restorations.
