Conference summary
The recent evolution in CAD/CAM, ceramic, and adhesive bonding technologies offers a whole new range of esthetic, less invasive, and long-lasting treatment options. However, there are still many questions:
How can I apply minimally invasive resin-bonded ceramic restorations such as laminate veneers and onlays successfully in my daily practice? How can I select the best ceramic materials and protocols to achieve optimal esthetics? How can I successfully integrate digital dentistry and chairside CAD/CAM systems into my clinical workflow? What are the best cements and bonding protocols for veneers, inlay/onlays, crowns, and bridges? How to bond zirconia to make resin-bonded bridges and partial-coverage restorations that last?
And what about all these new techniques I hear about, like digital smile design, new onlay preparation designs, immediate dentin sealing, and deep margin elevation? And last but not least: what is the scientific evidence on all these topics?
This presentation will answer these questions based on sound science and provide a lavishly illustrated clinical update on esthetic treatment options with ceramics from conservative laminate veneers and posterior onlays to resin-bonded bridges. “Hot topics” such as minimally invasive preparation guidelines, new adhesive protocols, deep margin elevation, and evidence-based dentistry will be discussed: from A like “Adhesive bonding” to “Z like “Zirconia”.
Learning objectives:
- Differentiate modern ceramic materials and their indications;
- Learn about CAD/CAM technology and its diverse applications in esthetic dentistry;
- Understand strategies for success with ceramic restorations for teeth and implants based on the current scientific evidence;
- Comprehend clinical guidelines for long-lasting resin-bonded esthetic restorations from laminate veneers and onlays to resin-bonded bridges and implant-supported restorations.
