”Between 0,3 and 2mm. Preparation guidelines for CEREC restorations.”

Digital dentistry BEGINS with the right preparation of the teeth. "Failing to prepare IDEAL is preparing to fail" is a famous quote that also applies perfectly to preparations for restorations made with the CEREC system. Moreover, the secret ingredient of the recipe for success with the CEREC system lies in the quality of the preparations. The shape of the dental preparations must adapt to new parameters that allow a design stage as short and as simple as possible and lead to precise, aesthetic, functional, and time-resistant restorations.
We will analyze the elements involved in making a CEREC restoration and how they influence the shape of the preparation we have to give to the CEREC system: 1. SOFTWARE (CEREC SW 5.X) 2. HARDWARE (milling machine) 3. INSTRUMENTATION 4. TYPES OF RESTORATION AND PREPARATION TECHNIQUES.

”The SMART CHOICE - the right material for the right indications. My options.”

Digital dentistry begins with the right preparation and CONTINUES with the right choice of the used material. For every indication of dental restoration, we have to choose the right material and take full responsibility for the long-term success of a prosthetic reconstruction done with CEREC. These materials should answer to the medical requirements (biocompatibility, mechanical resistance, esthetics) but also to the managerial requirements ( ergonomics, efficiency, time, ease of use). Zirconia, ceramics, composites and PMMA are the most often materials used in daily practice by a CEREC user. You will find out what are the speakers materials of choice in their daily practice.

”Protocols for cementing/bonding the CEREC restorations. How to choose? How to perform.”

Digital dentistry begins with the right preparation, continues with the right choice of the material, and ENDS with the bonding/cementation of the restoration. This is the most sensitive step during a CEREC treatment because now is the moment when we can assure a long-lasting result with a correct bonding/cementing protocol. Furthermore, this is the moment when we can ruin all the work due to an error during the bonding/cementation process. To bond or to cement? Which protocol is the best? which bond/cement material should I choose? These are questions that will be answered during this conference.

This conference will reveal the protocols, tips & tricks that the speaker use during the DESIGN PHASE for multiple restorations on the posterior area and for posterior bridges.

Topics: parameters for posterior restorations and bridges, the ”mystery” of minimal thickness, the importance of fissure height, the right occlusal contacts, the right proximal contacts (”the click contacts”), macro-micro tools, the virtual articulator and FGP, and many other tips & tricks

This conference will reveal the protocols, instruments, tips&tricks that the speaker uses during the design phase for  multiple restorations on the anterior teeth.  

Topics: biogeneric vs biocopy vs copy mirror, importance of insertion axis, MIDLINE - first!,  and many others tips & tricks.

This conference will reveal the protocols, instruments, tips&tricks that the speakers use during the DESIGN phase for crowns over implants and single implant CEREC guide.

Topics: accessories and instruments for crowns over implants, impression techniques Ti Base vs ScanPost, gingival mask - when to use it?, emergency profile, screw retain crown, cemented crown, healing abutment, CEREC guide.

LIVE DEMONSTRATION with the design protocols for

• a single posterior crown,
• multiple restorations on a quadrant,
• posterior bridge. 

LIVE DEMONSTRATION with the design protocols for:

• single anterior crown using all 3 design protocols: biogeneric, biocopy, copy - mirror. 
• 4 veneers on the upper incisors 

LIVE DEMONSTRATION with the design protocols for:

• screw retain crown, on posterior area.
• screw retain crown on anterior area.
• crown for immediate loading.
• cerec guide for single implant.

"Communication can change everything"

 Communication between dentist and dental technician is the key to perfect prosthetics. In this topic we will talk about what is important, when and how to transfer the data and the possibilities that we have to transfer data on a GPDR safe way.

FINISHING

HOW TO? All your questions regarding this topic will be answered. You will assist at the LIVE demonstration with the following:

•  finishing-sintering-painting - glazing a zirconia bridge,
• finishing, painting, and glazing of anterior crowns, and veneers,
• finishing, staining, and glazing of posterior crown.
