The CAD/CAM Ceramic Update in Esthetic Dentistry
Markus Blatz, DMD, PhD
The recent evolution in CAD/CAM and ceramic technologies offers a whole new range of esthetic, less- invasive and long-lasting treatment options. However, there are still many questions: “What are the best materials considering the large variety of ceramics available today? What ceramics can be used with chairside CAD/CAM systems? Do different ceramics require specific laboratory and clinical treatment? How about partial coverage veneers, inlays/on-lays and ceramic resin bonded bridges? What cements or bonding protocols should I use for the different ceramics and indications to avoid failures? Is all zirconia the same? What are the best materials on implants? And where is the scientific evidence on all these topics?” This course will answer such questions and provide an update on esthetic treatment options with ceramics from conservative partial-coverage laminate veneers and on-lays to resin bonded bridges and implant-supported restorations. Learning Objectives: • Differentiate modern ceramic materials and their indications and 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 esthetic restorations from laminate veneers and on-lays to resin bonded bridges and implant-supported restorations
