Esthetic Realities for Today and Tomorrow What will separate us more then ever before in the years to come will be our talent level and ability to understand the clinical side of dentistry. This course will focus on the “Team Concept” of restorative dentistry and the importance of the technicians ability to effectively control the esthetic outcome. Under the best of circumstances the transfer of information between the dentist and technician for the fabrication of restorations is difficult and challenging. Our educated patients and the advancement of materials has created a need for us to didactically move through the diagnostic process including biomechanically, functionally, periodontally and esthetically. This program will present a rational methodology to help eliminate the frustrations often encountered during this endeavor and discuss the future relationship that will prevail in the years to come. With the advent of newer technologies such as photographic, video and CAD/CAM, our role in the communication process through preoperative mounted casts, the diagnostic wax up, preparation guides, and the importance of photography as an aid for ceramic builds and color communication will still be a value to the dental community. • • • • •

Tissue Management Criteria on the Implant Restoration with a Novel Approach for Non-Invasive Pontic Site Development The objective of this lecture is to present a systematic approach based on the technician’s expertise in order to obtain predictable results on the implant challenging cases. Adopting temporary restoration as an objective tool using CAD/CAM technology with different materials: • Chromo/cobalt alloy and porcelain build up technique • Titanium with individual crowns cemented and pink porcelain or pink composite. • A traditional technique will be demonstrated using porcelain fused to metal and pink porcelain.
