The best way to communicate with a Dentist is to speak their language
Karim Sahil, RDT, MDT
Description:
Many would agree Implant surgery in the aesthetic zone is very challenging. A bigger challenge can be to create the right prosthesis to remodel the events after a tooth is extracted and replaced with an implant. Failing to see what the clinician sees can often lead to undesirable outcomes. Many techniques exist to restore the loss of dentition, and every extra bit of information should be considered for a successful outcome. Understanding the “WHY” makes the “HOW” that much easier.
This seminar will be discussing,
-
The importance of reading X-rays
-
Proper design/choice of abutments to avoid bone loss
-
Multi layer zirconia Vs 3 stage porcelain build-up
-
New generation of ceramic materials for zirconia and lithium disilicate
-
Successful case studies using CeraMotion
