Navigating the Maze of Ceramic Materials and Cements: Keys to Predictable Outcomes

The aim of Prosthodontic rehabilitation is to provide the patient with functional and aesthetic restorations. New materials and technologies are continually being developed and introduced into the marketplace. The general practitioner is often faced with the difficult task of deciphering between available products and treatment workflows. Navigating through the maze of materials can be quite daunting. Understanding when and how to use different ceramics and recognizing appropriate bonding or cementation techniques is critical in achieving successful outcomes. The aim of this CE webinar is to help navigate through the choices. Key insights in achieving predictable and aesthetic restorations will be outlined as well as the required interdisciplinary communication between the dentist, specialist and laboratory technician. The presentation will include numerous clinical examples in which the techniques described are demonstrated.

During this CE webinar, we will
• Provide an overview of current ceramic materials including properties, indications and contraindications
• Outline difference between Adhesively Bonding, Conventional Cementation and Self-Adhesive Resin Cements
• Review cement properties and various cementation techniques
