From Glass Ionomers to Glass Hybrids: 50 Years of Innovation
グラスアイオノマーからグラスハイブリッドへ
~半世紀の技術革新~
Fifty years have passed since the introduction of GIC. This session highlights key innovations over the past half‑century, including the synergistic effects of combining GIC and SDF in managing root caries, strategies for achieving a sustainable and effective transition to an amalgam‑free practice in the post‑amalgam era, and the latest evidence on glass‑hybrid restoratives that offer remarkable improvements in durability and clinical performance. Join us to explore how these technological advances are reshaping everyday clinical practice and to envision the future of restorative dentistry.

Lecturer
Navigating the Post-Amalgam Era:
Policy, Practice, and Economic Impact
Navigating the Post-Amalgam Era:
Policy, Practice, and Economic Impact
- Describe the key international and national policy drivers accelerating the reduction and elimination of dental amalgam use, including the Minamata Convention and emerging regulatory responses.
- Evaluate the clinical implications of shifting from amalgam to alternative restorative materials, including effects on technique sensitivity, longevity, workflow, and patient communication.
- Analyze the short- and long-term economic impacts of the transition on dental practices, payers, and health systems, including material costs, chair time, reimbursement structures, and preventive care models.
- Identify opportunities to optimize care delivery in the post-amalgam era through enhanced prevention, minimally invasive dentistry and evidence-informed material selection.
- Formulate strategic actions for practice and policy adaptation, supporting a sustainable and clinically effective transition to amalgam-free dentistry.
