Lithium Disilicate vs Zirconia: Concepts in Cementation that will Lead to Clinical Success
About This Event
A vast majority of the indirect restorations place in the dental practice currently are either fabricated from zirconia or lithium disilicate. The popularity of these materials is due to their excellent esthetics, durability and can be fabricated at a reasonable fee. But these materials are different and a significant factor in the clinical longevity of these materials is following correct clinical protocol at delivery and an understanding of the what the best choices of cement materials that are currently available. This CE webinar will discuss the appropriate protocol for the pretreatment of these two materials to maximize the retention of each type of restoration. Additionally, the webinar will discuss the different categories of dental cements currently available and which cements are better choices for each type of material and the 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 is one type of cement a better choice in a given clinical situation
• Learn concepts that will help to create a routine that will ensure that each restorative material has the maximum chance at long term clinical success
