THE HYBRID LAYER
The Biomimetic Dentistry Learning Pathway.
A structured guide through our lecture library. We recommend following the sections in order, as each builds on the principles covered before it.
01
SECTION 1
The Biomimetic Framework
Dr David Alleman essentially founded biomimetic dentistry as it is known today. This lecture gives you the full framework: what biomimetic dentistry is, why it matters, and how it changes the way you approach restorative work. Everything else on the platform builds on the principles covered here.
The Six Lessons Approach to Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry.
Dr David Alleman & Dr Davey Alleman

SECTION 2
Understanding Cracked Teeth
Packed with biomimetic concepts, this lecture teaches us about the biomechanics and histology of the natural tooth. It explains the biorim and biodome, methods of mechanical analysis, and teaches us how to successfully dissect various types of cracks. It also gives us an insight into the biomimetic restoration and reinforcement of the cracked tooth.

SECTION 3
Isolation
As Dr Davey Alleman says, “If I can isolate it, I can restore it.” Rubber dam isolation is fundamental to successful adhesive dentistry. Recommended equipment, techniques, and protocols.

SECTION 4
Preserving Pulp Vitality
Preserving the vitality of the pulp is one of the main foundations of biomimetic dentistry. Learn about this from a specialist endodontist who has also been trained extensively in biomimetic dentistry.
Contemporary Vital Pulp Therapy.

SECTION 5
Modern Cariology
We want to learn how to treat teeth, but we need to know when we should not pick up the drill. By assessing situations clinically and radiographically, learn when a preventative approach is better, prior to even considering minimally-invasive restorative concepts.
Clinical Application of Modern Cariology.
Dr Jorge Aravena Diaz
06
SECTION 6
Adhesive Protocols
A truly detailed and comprehensive lecture. Jorge delves into his entire adhesive protocols, ultimately resulting in the creation of a biobase. This is foundational adhesive knowledge that ensures, regardless of the adhesive system you are using, that you understand the steps and can achieve optimal bond strengths in every situation.

SECTION 7
Fibre-Reinforcement
Fibres are used often in biomimetic dentistry. Learn how materials like short fibre-reinforced composites and polyethylene fibres can create predictable, adhesive, and biomimetic restorations.
Post-Endodontic Restorations with Modern Fibre-Reinforced Techniques.

SECTION 8
Deep Margin Elevation
Reduce or eliminate the need for crown lengthening surgery. Become confident in managing even the deepest cases.
Deep Margin Isolation and Deep Margin Elevation.
Dr David Alleman & Dr Davey Alleman
Once your margin is elevated, achieve predictable contacts:

SECTION 9
Posterior Morphology and Occlusion
In biomimetic dentistry, the layers at the bottom of the restoration are often said to be more important than the layers at the top, but re-creating functional morphology is also vital for long term success.
Functional and Aesthetic Morphology: Direct Posterior Composite Restorations.

SECTION 10
Anterior Aesthetics
The foundational biomimetic principles from Sections 1 to 9 apply to anterior dentistry too. These lectures focus on the specific challenges of achieving natural, long-lasting results in the anterior region.
