Zirconia: Clinical Applications and Challenges
Dr. Mahmood Abu Ruja, DDS, MSc, PhD, MSc(Prostho), FRCDC
Description:
All-ceramic restorations have been used in recent years for their superior gingival response and esthetic quality. Yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (Y-TZP) is a non-silicate ceramic of great interest in the field of prosthetic and implant dentistry due to its excellent mechanical properties. In spite of the high mechanical properties, Y-TZP has poor bond strength to the underlying substrate even when resin-based cements are used due to the lack of a glassy matrix and the absence of silica. Different surface treatment methods have been proposed to improve the bond strength to resin cement, including chemical and/or mechanical surface treatments, but no benchmark has been established to date.
In this lecture, we will:
-
Provide an overview and insight into newer materials
-
Understand the different structures and properties of Y-TZP
-
What are the indications for different materials
-
Learn how to handle and bond Zirconia.

The 1- Wing Maryland bridge. SYNOPSIS MARYLAND BRIDGE
Dr. Mario Rotella
Description:
Missing teeth in the anterior aesthetic region represent an urgent need for dental
intervention and often require an early treatment strategy that restores both the
aesthetic and functional aspects of the dentition. Cantilever resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) are considered a minimally invasive treatment approach to the replacement of single missing anterior teeth and provide excellent clinical outcomes, high survival rates and great patient satisfaction.
The Maryland bonded bridge traditionally featured metal wings and porcelain pontics. Today, zirconia is the material of choice due to the better esthetic result. This lecture is intended to provide additional knowledge and information on the “Maryland” bridge, taking in consideration:
-
case selection
-
material choice
-
preparation design and bridge design

Create Optimal Clinical Results & Patient Experience Through Diagnosis and Management of Gingival Inflammation
Pamela Bedour, RDH
Description:
Gingival inflammation is the first step on the way to periodontal disease through its initial regulation of changes in the oral bacteria that lead to breakdown of the tissues that support the teeth. In its earliest stages the initiation of gingival inflammation is painless and rarely noticed by the patient. Eliminating oral inflammation is the key objective in the dental recall program. But to do this effectively, dental professionals need to be able to measure oral inflammation levels associated with periodontal diseases objectively. This lecture will discuss a protocol combining 4 pillars for periodontal disease management:
• Diagnostic
• Management of Risk Factors
• Disruption of Biofilm
• Host-Modulation Therapy
Pamela’s expansive and rewarding dental hygiene career has included positions in general practice and a variety of specialties, including periodontal, prosthodontic and orthodontic offices. She was a clinical instructor for both Fanshawe College and Schulich Dentistry at Western University for many years. Pamela obtained her BSc in Oral Health Promotion through O’Hehir University in 2021.

Dr. Effie Habsha
Digital Dentistry in Contemporary Prosthodontics:
Is it Practical?
Dr. Effie Habsha
Description:
Digital technology has had a dramatic impact on all disciplines of dentistry, particularly in the fields of Prosthodontics and Surgery. The evolution of digital technologies has provided dental professionals with the possibility of following a completely digital workflow beginning from diagnostic treatment planning to prosthesis fabrication. Clinical data acquisition using intra oral scanners has bridged the digital gap between the clinical practice and the dental laboratory. While these latest digital tools offer new and different workflows compared to conventional techniques, it is imperative that clinical efficiency and restoration accuracy not be compromised.
This presentation will provide a practical and pragmatic overview of the digital tools and technologies used in a modern prosthodontic practice. A comprehensive overview of digital technology used in diagnosis, treatment planning, surgical treatment planning, guided implant surgery and prosthodontics will be covered. The use of intra oral scanners and the workflow required for simple reconstructions to comprehensive full arch rehabilitations in both conventional and implant based applications will be presented. Some of the challenges, limitations and inefficiencies encountered utilizing new technologies will be described.
Course Objectives:
-
Demonstrate the utilization of digital technology in Implant Surgery and Prosthodontics
-
Demonstrate the use of intra oral scanners with conventional crown and bridgework and implant dentistry
