Zirconia restorations are some of the most durable all ceramic materials available for tooth colored restorations. However, there are many questions as to how to properly clean, adhere and or cement them. This CE webinar will help to eliminate many of the common questions and frustrations with delivering zirconia restorations.
One of the most popular restorative options available today for patients is the use of full-contoured milled zirconia. Advances in new multilayered zirconia blocks and sintering technology, combined with the ability to super-fast mill zirconia restorations, affords the opportunity to provide single-visit zirconia restorations for our patients in a fast and efficient manner. Zirconia restorations can be predictably and efficiently milled, sintered, polished, and delivered in as little as an hour. In this CE webinar, Karyn M. Halpern DMD, MS will discuss the chairside workflow using zirconia. The properties and clinical applications of Zirconia will be reviewed. Techniques on how to pre-polish, polish after sintering, and stain and glaze will be presented.
While many dental practices have not yet embraced new technology, it’s no secret that dentistry is trending towards digital when it comes to more efficient workflows and treatment for patients. For practitioners considering an easy, seamless way to make the transition, intraoral scanning is often a great place to start. In this CE webinar, join Dr. Tony Mennito, a general practitioner, educator, international lecturer and published author, for a look at his journey with intraoral scanning and how it has transformed the way he performs in general practice. Dr. Mennito will focus on three intraoral scanning-based workflows — digital wax-ups, implant planning and clear aligner and occlusal splint therapy — and discuss how intraoral scanning aided in the diagnostics and treatment planning process.
In this CE webinar, we will discuss the features and benefits of a unique intra-oral scanning system along with materials selection, tissue management techniques, and cementation protocols. The complete digital workflow will be shown to make intergration into everyday practice simple and seamless.
