Lecture up to 1.5 hours

Esthetics/Cosmetic Dentistry, AGD Subject Code 780

This lecture focuses on highly esthetic tooth and implant-supported restorations through the implementation of digital technologies. A detailed update on the latest materials, workflows and techniques with will be presented.

Upon completion of this session, the attendees should be able to:

• Identify how treatment time optimization and better clinical outcomes are possible with the implementation of digital tools from the diagnostic phase through facially driven mock-ups to the definitive restorations.

• Understand new methods to elaborate long-term provisional and definitive restorations and their respective polishing protocols for optimal esthetics and soft tissue response.

• Identify step-by-step clinical protocols for tooth preparations and bonding optimization of full-ceramic CAD/CAM restorations with evidence-based concepts.
