The Predictable Use of Ceramic Science in Prosthodontic Practice

Über diese Veranstaltung

Overview

Dentistry that is esthetic to the patient is an important clinical objective. The knowledge within dental technology, dental science and dental practice has dramatically expanded, leading to better quality, artistry and more standards-based clinical applications. Ceramics are the most consistently predictable esthetic dental material. Today dentists can offer more treatment options for patients' complex problems. The single-phase or monolithic all-ceramic materials have become increasingly more popular and do not chip as do all bi-layered ceramic materials – these types are dominating the market and future development, bringing with it more long-term success.

All-ceramic materials were developed to improve ceramic color and marginal fit. Present bi-layered all-ceramic crowns on molars have reached their full potential. Despite substantial improvements in material strength and toughness, they still fail because of breakage and chipping at relatively high rates. The lithium disilicate and zirconia mono-layered all-ceramic material is changing dentistry and the realization of long-term ceramic survival. Original research will be presented that studied the clinical behavior of almost 7,800 all-ceramic restorations – and specifically almost 4,000 lithium disilicate restorations.

Understanding methods to manage simple and complex restorative issues is critical to improving patient acceptance and long-term ceramic success. Methods to integrate the efforts of laboratory technologists and patients' desires, managing occlusion and final cementation protocols, can have a profound impact on the practice of dentistry.
