The Vantage Point 2
Clinical, Digital and Scientific Applications of Esthetic Zirconia
This virtual seminar will discuss the clinical, digital and scientific applications of the esthetic zirconia KATANA from Kuraray Noritake with three prominent clinicians.
Dr. Bob Winter will discuss the clinical applications of esthetic zirconia in the mouth, indications, contraindications and rleated protocols. He will share a clinical cases featuring different zirconia materials.
Dr. Lynne Thomas will discuss the digital applications of KATANA using the CEREC technology. How to design a multi-unit restoration taking into consideration things such as pontic size, span as well as connector dimensions needed for success.
Dr. Markus Blatz will then discuss the scientific basis of KATANA and how the material has performed in the laboratory as well as in vivo. He will compare KATANA zirconia to other commercially available zirconias on the market. Also provide his recommendation on cementation/bonding.
The experts will share treatment planning tips, scanning tips, and material selection tips (KATANA Zirconia) etc.
The presentations will be followed up with a round table discussion and an opportunity for the audience to ask questions.
