* You will learn how to digitize your patient
* You will learn the importance of the full virtual patient

This webinar is a live webinar which will be held at January 20 2024 at 15:00 CET via zoom. All participants will receive a zoom link prior to the zoom meeting

Mastering CAD/CAM Ceramic Restorations in Esthetic Dentistry
All the HOT TOPICS from A like “Adhesive bonding” to Z like “Zirconia”

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? What are the best ceramic materials for implants from single units to full-mouth reconstructions and why? 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: is there any scientific evidence on all these topics?

This presentation will answer such 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 and implant-supported restorations. “Hot topics” such as digital smile design, 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.

Modern Digital Dentistry.
From Analogue to Digital; My journey into the Digital Smile Design Concept

We are in a transformative era in dentistry, with rapid changes in companies, evolving technologies, shifting marketing trends and significant shifts in client behaviors. Simply being a good dentist is no longer enough.

I want to share my journey from analog to digital dentistry, from 2D to 3D. My career has distinctly changed since I embraced the Digital Smile Design (DSD) philosophy. Starting from my first DSD course in 2014 to now, where I proudly serve as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) on the official DSD team.
DSD is crucial for me, enhancing communication with patients and improving their overall experience, leading to a radical increase in case acceptance. It follows a multidisciplinary, facially driven treatment plan with a holistic approach, my preferred method for any case. To achieve this, understanding how to digitize patients and identifying the best protocols is essential.

DSD has significantly improved the quality of my work, allowing me to consistently design better, plan more effectively, communicate more efficiently with my team and patients, and have greater control over my execution process.

I am excited to share my experiences in Digital Dentistry and DSD, showing practical ways to incorporate these concepts into your daily routine. It would be my pleasure to guide you in implementing these innovative approaches effectively

Learning Objectives:
• Learn the importance of DSD in your treatment planning
• Learn how DSD can improve your communication
• Learn how to incorporate Digital Dentistry in your daily routine

The Importance of Real Human Movements Utilizing Axiography
After 20 years of utilizing axiographies from different manufacturers and following the evolution from magnetic fields to sound, and now optics, we can definitely conclude that every single patient has a unique pattern of motion. This pattern of motion is not only based on Ostheokinematics but it also depends on the Arthrokinematics. That’s why the trajectories in the articular joints, when super imposed on top of tomograms, make the difference in proper diagnostics and treatments.

The new era of digital integration facilitates not only the proper diagnostics based on trajectory, but it also allows to execute the proper treatment plan to complete the concept of the dynamic digital patient. In addition we have also the capabilities to export these trajectories to manufacturing programs.

Learning Objectives:
In this lecture you will understand mandibular trajectories, TMJ trajectories, dynamic integration  with cone beam and digital impression and all the possibilities in planning and manufacturing.
