Content of the intensive seminar
All-ceramic restorations made of high-strength glass (lithium disilicate, LS2) and oxide ceramics (zirconium dioxide, ZrO2) in combination with adhesive and conventional luting materials have proven themselves clinically. Patients can be treated with all-ceramic therapy concepts that are minimally invasive and biocompatible and at the same time functional and esthetic. In addition to material-appropriate planning and an indication-appropriate procedure, a precisely coordinated treatment process between the dental technician and dentist is a prerequisite for long-term success. This intensive seminar conveys the possibilities and limitations of a successful restorative all-ceramic treatment concept for the private practice, which has been continuously optimized in over 23 years of activity. From diagnosis to planning, preparation and the mastery of various dental manufacturing techniques (painting, layering, pressing, CAD / CAM techniques) to correct adhesive or conventional cementation and subsequent aftercare. Decisive criteria that determine success or failure are examined in detail. Based on successful teamwork between dental technician and dentist, the treatment process is presented step-by-step in a very practice-oriented manner using selected patient cases documented over many years.
