Practical Chairside Zirconia in Digital Dentistry

Dr. Anthony Ponzio

Digital dentistry continues to evolve, offering clinicians expanded opportunities to deliver efficient, predictable, same-day restorations. This course focuses on practical chairside workflows for zirconia restorations within modern CAD/CAM systems. Participants will examine current digital technologies—including intraoral scanning, in-office milling, utilizing CBCT, and —and how they support restorative treatment planning and execution. Emphasis will be placed on utilizing zirconia material for in-office solution using zirconia blocks. Through clinical examples, attendees will gain insight into realistic zirconia indications, simplified finishing protocols, and workflows that balance efficiency, strength, and esthetics in everyday practice. - Describe the role of current digital dentistry technologies in supporting chairside restorative workflows. - Compare in-office milling and laboratory fabrication options for zirconia restorations, and how that affects your overall production. - Identify clinical indications suitable for chairside zirconia using zirconia blocks. - Apply simplified (finishing) workflows to improve efficiency and predictability of in-office zirconia restorations.

The Pre-Orthodontic Bonding Concept

Author : Marcela Alvarez, DDS

The greatest challenge in interdisciplinary dentistry is rarely the treatment itself; it is the communication. Too often, restorative dentists and orthodontists struggle to align their vision, leading to unnecessary guesswork and compromised outcomes. The Pre-Orthodontic Bonding Concept changes this dynamic by providing a clear, visual guide that eliminates uncertainty. By establishing ideal tooth form and anatomy before or during orthodontic treatment, it allows the orthodontist to move teeth into their optimal positions and gives the restorative dentist the foundation for esthetic, minimally invasive, and predictable results. Learning Objectives - Communicate with the orthodontist using Pre-Orthodontic Bonding or Intermediate Orthodontic Bonding Concept. - Perform the bonding technique. - Implement a systemic approach to interdisciplinary treatment between the restorative dentist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, orthodontist, and periodontist.

Creating Natural Harmony with Modern Super-Composites

Author : Dr. Clarence Tam

The difference between Biomimetic/Natural and conventional dentistry is that biomimetic attempts to duplicate the missing tooth structure with restorative materials that match their natural physical properties. A key aspect of this is to dramatically reduce stress on the adhesive materials so they can provide long-term use and durability for direct and indirect restorations. If clinical techniques have high-stress then the bonds will be low, conversely, if the clinical techniques have low-stress then the bonds will be high and more likely to succeed. This CE webinar will discuss and illustrate low-stress, high-bond techniques for direct composites as well as techniques on blending and highlighting your restorations. Key clinical tips will be shown to increase the esthetics of direct composites. During this CE webinar, the attendee will learn - What materials are best to replace enamel and dentin substrates - What materials are best used to replace large volumes of missing tooth structure - Posterior composite layering techniques and the placement of tints to accentuate anatomy to create greater realism - The limits of various techniques in treating hypo-mineralization and will review a staged protocol for clinical success - How modern cloud-shaded super-composite materials can help to minimize armamentaria while facilitating ease of efficiency in anterior restorations

Porcelain Restorations and Adhesion to Improve Aesthetics, Function, and Unique Clinical Problems

Author : Dr. Nicolas Aguilera

Porcelain restorations remain one of the most predictable materials in aesthetics and restorative dentistry. Their success, however, depends entirely on correct case selection, precise clinical execution, and a consistent, evidence-based bonding protocol. This CE webinar will review the fundamental principles of adhesion, contemporary ceramic systems and step-by-step protocols to manage common and complex clinical challenges. Participants will learn how to optimize aesthetics and function with a facial driven approach and mastering the temporaries technique so the master ceramist can replicate it in porcelain restorations. By the end of the webinar, clinicians will have a clear and reproducible workflow for planning, preparing, bonding, and maintaining porcelain restorations with confidence. During this webinar, we will - Execute a consistent, evidence-based bonding protocol for porcelain restorations to ensure predictable strength and long-term performance - Integrate a facially driven approach to diagnosis and treatment planning, aligning restorations with facial proportions, smile dynamics, and function - Master provisional techniques to use temporaries as a diagnostic blueprint for aesthetics, function, and patient approval before final ceramics

Managing Porcelain Veneer Replacements... When You Inherit Aggressively Prepared Teeth

Author : Dr. Richard A. Young, DDS

Replacing porcelain veneers isn’t always simple. When removal of veneers exposes aggressively prepped teeth, careful treatment planning and communication are essential. This course uses a case study to present each step of the process, with practical tips for assessing corrective tooth preparation, effective lab collaboration, and rationale for material selection. Presented are useful insights to clarify and align expectations between patient, dentist, and ceramist to achieve predictable, esthetic results. Included are clinical protocols and a workflow outline to address the unique clinical challenges that arise when replacing porcelain veneers on already aggressively prepared teeth.
