THEATRE PRESENTATION NEW!
|
 Today our patients are asking for more esthetic and durable all-ceramic restorations. The combination of chair side manufactured all-ceramic restorations using the CAD/CAM technology with CEREC and the adhesive cementation technique facilitate long lasting restorations resulting in significant preservation of tooth structure and excellent esthetics meeting the highest patient demands. However, small mistakes in the various clinical steps of the treatment sequence and the manufacturing process can compromise the clinical long- term success of our CAD/CAM restorations.
|
 In a joint interactive lecture Dr. Michael Dieter and Mr. Joerg Vogt presented a predictable concept for the chairside treatment with single tooth CAD/CAM restorations taking into account all the critical steps to the final restoration.
Dr. Michael Dieter focused on the clinical treatment sequence, e.g. indications, tooth preparation, selection of the correct color, translucency and strength of ceramic blocks, plus all the cementation options for the luting procedure. Special emphasis was given to the perfection of the esthetic outcome of the restoration after milling.
|
 Mr. Joerg Vogt introduced the latest on "One-visit digital dentistry" with CEREC AC Bluecam: How to take perfect digital optical impressions, update on the latest software version including the new Biogeneric software.
"Impressive & Refreshing Presentation."
