About this Event
The progressive shift towards ceramic materials and digital workflows is obvious. In fact, new ceramic materials are introduced to dental communities in high frequency with improvement in both mechanical properties as well as esthetics. However, the goal remains unchanged, to deliver long-lasting restorations. Are modern ceramic materials bullet-proof and more forgiving to clinical errors? The lecture will present results of prospective clinical study on long-term survival of ceramic restorations and what are the factors that influence failure or success.
The second part of the lecture will overview relevance of occlusion with modern ceramic materials and digital workflows. Digital technologies have predictable outcomes in single-unit dentistry, but is it as reliable for complex full-mouth rehabilitations? With the increase of life expectancy and surge in generalized severe wear more patients are in need of these complex inter-disciplinary treatments where occlusal schemes are re-established. Occlusal concepts have always been paramount for long-term successful outcome of restorations. Is occlusion still relevant? The lecture will overview fundamentals of occlusion and investigate its relevancy in ceramic materials and digital approaches.
