Stress-Reduced Direct Composites (SRDC) with Continuous Fibre Support
Dr Nathaniel Bellelis presents a biomimetic framework for stress-reduced direct composite restorations with continuous fibre support. Drawing on adhesive science, real-time OCT data and clinical experience, he demonstrates his SRDC protocol and the strategic use of polyethylene fibres to manage polymerisation stress.
Included with All-Access membership, along with every other lecture in the library.
Stress-Reduced Direct Composites (SRDC) with Continuous Fibre Support
Dr Nathaniel Bellelis presents a biomimetic framework for stress-reduced direct composite (SRDC) restorations using continuous fibre support. Drawing on contemporary adhesive science, real-time OCT data, and extensive clinical experience, he explores how time, cavity configuration, adhesion, and fibre reinforcement interact to influence long-term restorative success. The lecture combines a focused overview of the underlying theory with a step-by-step video demonstration of his SRDC protocol, followed by clinical case discussions. Dr Bellelis illustrates how polyethylene fibres can be used strategically to manage polymerisation stress and preserve compromised tooth structure.
