Venue: Dentcare Dental Labaratory

[Day 1]
Title: Lithium Disilicate on Minimum Preparation Crown and Veneer

Synopsis

The shift towards minimally invasive dentistry has imposed many new challenges for dental technicians. The limited space provided by the dentist requires precise craftsmanship and innovative techniques to create restorations that not only mimic nature but also fit seamlessly within the constraints of the patient’s mouth

In cases involving a combination of crowns and veneers, the challenge is even greater as both types of restorations need to harmonize aesthetically and functionally while mimicing the natural tooth structure. In this session participants will explore the aesthetic capabilities of Lithium Disilicate where staining and layering are combined to create time efficient restorations.

Key Learning Points:

1. Understand the characteristics of monolithic and layered lithium disilicate restorations
2. How to adjust the shade and create harmony between monolithic and layered lithium disilicate restorations
3. Produce high quality lithium disilicate restorations effectively and efficiently

[Day 2]
Title:  Zirconia: Balancing Strength and Beauty in Modern Dentistry

Synopsis :

zirconia represents a compelling option in modern dentistry, offering a harmonious balance of strength, biocompatibility, aesthetics, and versatility. By harnessing the advantages of this innovative material, dental professionals can deliver high-quality restorations that meet the functional and aesthetic expectations of their patients. By a high-end stronger multilayer zirconia, technicians are able to mimic natural teeth by creating highly aesthetic restorations with minimal layering to save time and increase productivity.

Learning points:

1. To understand ideal coping design for minimum layered zirconia bridge
2. To understand how to use internal staining to enhance the final result
3. To be able to produce highly esthetic zirconia bridge with simple layering method
