Concepts in Cementation that will Lead to Clinical Success
About This Event
A vast majority of the indirect restorations placed in dental practice currently are either fabricated from zirconia or lithium disilicate. The popularity of these materials is due to their excellent esthetics, durability, and reasonable fabrication costs. However, these materials differ significantly, and a critical factor in their clinical longevity lies in following the correct clinical protocol at delivery. This CE webinar will discuss appropriate protocols for the pretreatment of these two materials to maximize the retention of each restoration type. Additionally, the webinar will cover various categories of dental cements available, and the best choices for each type of material and clinical situation presented. During this CE webinar, we will: • Understand the correct protocol for pre-delivery treatment of zirconia and lithium disilicate • Become familiar with the different categories of dental cements, the benefits of each, and when one type of cement is a better choice in a given clinical situation • Learn concepts to create a routine that ensures maximum long-term clinical success for each restorative material.
