Biomimetic Dentistry: How to Avoid Crowns & Root Canals | Drs. David & Davey Alleman

What if a composite could last 20 years and most crowns and root canals never had to happen? Drs. David and Davey Alleman of the Alleman Center of Biomimetic Dentistry explain the Six Lessons approach, from caries detecting dye and deep caries to sealing near the pulp without an exposure.

In this episode:

- Why Dr. David Alleman almost quit dentistry after 17 years, and what changed

- Lesson 1: caries diagnosis and treatment, and why MMPs cost you bond strength

- Lesson 2: how a traditional prep weakens the tooth

- Caries detecting dye vs deep tubule stain, and where to stop

- Why trained dentists send far fewer root canals

- Why dental schools still don't teach biomimetic dentistry

Plus dental news: the ADA amalgam resolution, the ADA's direct restorative materials guidance, the Forsyth dental tech startup winners, and a $95 million pediatric settlement.

Dr. David Alleman and his son Dr. Davey Alleman run the Alleman Center of Biomimetic Dentistry in Utah and teach the Six Lessons approach through their Mastership program. Learn more: [Alleman Center website]
