Synopsis:

This CE course teaches simple digital techniques to re-design a patient's smile as a motivational and patient education tool. The author's technique to convert the digital smile into an “esthetic prototype”, which is developed with special clear matrices and a functional flowable composite in the patient's mouth to test esthetics and function, will be reviewed in slide and video format. This presentation covers the current, all-ceramic systems available for use for natural teeth and implants, both for conventional and digital processing techniques. Specific clinical indications for these various materials is given based on the research and clinical evidence from ongoing clinical trials. Attention is given to preparation requirements for natural teeth, implant placement for ideal esthetic development, abutment selection and design. Note...this was recorded live and the lights were low so one cannot see the speaker in the video but one can hear him perfectly and can see the slides.
