Dentistry is changing faster today than anytime in modern history. The role of monolithic restorations, universal adhesives, and digital, needs to be understood and implemented in every dental practice. As a practicing clinician and as the Director of Education and Technology at Utah Valley Dental Lab, Dr. David Hornbook has a very unique perspective of these changes in what he has coined “living on both sides of the bench”. With a practice focused on metal-free, all-ceramic aesthetic-based dentistry, Dr. Hornbrook understands the importance of predictability, ease of use, and long-term success when deciding which restorative material and cementation option will provide the best results. As the Director of Technology at a state-of-the-art dental lab, his day-to-day interaction with ceramists and other clinicians provides him a thorough understanding of the problems both these groups face and how they are overcoming challenges and benefitting from CAD:CAM, digital wax-ups and design, and high strength, aesthetic ceramic materials.

Course Objectives:

Learn when to use esthetic, monolithic ceramics.

• Discover the new dentinal adhesive agents and how can we combine ease-of-use with long-term predictability.
• Determine when to adhesively “bond” and when to use “Luting” agents and what’s available.
• Review PMMA long-term provisionals and how they are used to provisionalize implant sites and help sequence full mouth rehabilitations.
• Learn about bio-stimulating cements: how and when they can and should be used.
• How to achieve highly aesthetic anterior implant results using the “H” Abutment.
• Understand new changes in implant designs that allow for screw-retained implant crowns where traditional designs made this impossible.
• Discover the new milling machines for ZrO2, Lithium Disilicate and resins, to yield more accurate and detailed restorations.
• Review the use of a computer-assisted-anesthetic delivery device to limit the amount of anesthesia used and allow for evaluation of smile designs with full lip mobility.
