The newly updated Principles of Adhesion Dentistry: A Theoretical and Clinical Guide for Dentists, Second Edition is now available, offering substantial revisions that reflect advancements in material science and evolving restorative practices. Building on the original 2013 release, the new edition strengthens its focus on practical, scientifically grounded guidance for clinicians.
Authored by Dr. Byoung I. Suh, founder of BISCO and a pioneer in restorative bonding chemistry, the Second Edition aims to simplify complex adhesive science while directly linking theory to operatory application. Drawing from decades of research, teaching, and product development, Dr. Suh presents adhesive and bonding concepts in a clear, structured format designed to support both flexible learning and clinical decision-making.
Each chapter is organized into three sections — Clinical Significance, In-Depth Information, and Summary — helping readers tailor their learning to individual needs. The consolidation of adhesive technologies, resin systems, comparative product evaluations, and restorative protocols allows clinicians to better navigate today’s expanding landscape of materials and techniques.
Emphasizing the importance of understanding material behavior, the book reinforces that foundational knowledge is essential for predictable outcomes across restorative procedures. 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.”
Published jointly by BISCO and Conexiant, the updated volume is intended for both new practitioners and experienced clinicians seeking to refine their understanding of adhesive dentistry.
