Abstract

Introduction: Innovations in digital dentistry and highstrength all-ceramic systems in conjunction with advanced CAD/CAM technology provide us with more opportunity to offer esthetic and function not only in the esthetic zone, but also in high stress posterior occlusion. Each system requires specific tooth preparation, laboratory communication, surface conditioning for luting. Current ceramic primers and luting cements have made these a reality. All-ceramic restorations in 2018 is an in-depth look at concepts, procedures and products to enhance the durability of these restorations. Course Objective: This course is designed to provide participants with practical information on indications, selection, tooth preparation, laboratory communication and bonding of current types of all ceramic restorations in light of current scientific and clinical information. Failures of esthetic restorations and steps for intra-oral repairs will be discussed. Topics to be Discussed: The following topics will be discussed as a part of all-ceramic restorations in 2018: 1. Porcelain veneers; 35 years observations; what we did? What we do? 2. Clinical considerations of zirconia and IPS e.max lithium disilicate restorations. 3. Minimal invasive procedures with CAD/CAM zirconia restorations. 4. Bonding and cementing zirconia restorations in light of current scientific information. barghi@uthscsa.edu
