Maximizing Results with All Ceramic Zirconia Restorations
Speaker: Cherilyn G. Sheets, DDS

Synopsis: Increasingly there is an interest in the public for metal-free restorations that are lifelike in appearance and strong. Technologically, combining strength and aesthetics has been a challenge as the materials that impart strength to ceramic are often opaque. With the introduction of zirconia products in the lexicon of aesthetic restorations, dentistry has broadened the choices to include an all-ceramic crown that has high strength and the potential of natural aesthetics. This presentation will look at the possible uses of all ceramic zirconia crowns, the guidelines for preparation design to optimize aesthetic results, laboratory considerations, and luting protocols. Numerous treatment situations will be used to illustrate the various treatment possibilities.

Educational objectives:Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to achieve the following:
  • Understand the qualities of zirconia fused to porcelain restorations.
  • Understand the guidelines for full coverage preparations.
  • Understand the responsibilities for the dentist and dental technologist to achieve precise results.
  • Learn current communication aids between the dentist and dental technologist.
  • Understand how to analyze failure.
  • Understand the important of protecting restorations from dynamic loading and porcelain failure.



Edentulous Impression Technique
Speaker: Joseph Massad, DDS

The history of making impressions has been the basis of most prosthodontic reservations. Even with the advancement of the Scan-Cad, movable prosthodontics will require exquisite impressions to scan. Scanning all the movements both functionally and statically will require an impression. This presentation will present a layering impression method utilizing several viscosities to accomplish both the functional and mucostatic properties required for proper removable prosthesis. The method will describe a one appointment procedure delivering superior detail of both hard and soft tissues.

Educational objectives:Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to achieve the following:
  • Understand why using multiple viscosity impression materials can yield ideal edentulous impressions.
  • Understand the difference between a functional and mucostatic impression.
  • Eliminate the two-appointment impression to one appointment with equal or better quality.
  • Understand why letting the patient mimic their facial movements produces an accurate peripheral role.
  • Learn facial movements performed during the maxillary impression.
