The ongoing advancement of new procedures and technology within the dental profession continues to grow at an accelerated rate. The comprehensive volume of information that must be maintained to remain competent in the respective fields of study as a dentist or a dental technician, therefore, become increasingly difficult to sustain. Although an exhaustive knowledge base for either specialty is simply not possible, numerous overlapping philosophies and techniques have been recognized that are able to improve the daily workflow of the restorative clinician.
Course Objectives:
- Review dogmatic principles found in the field of contemporary prosthetic dentistry and the alternative options that exist for each.
- Analyze many of the current materials available to the ceramist and dental professional that can be utilized in the restoration of implants, fixed crown and bridge, and removable prosthetic treatment plans.
- Determine the chairside/benchtop protocols that will ensure the highest efficacy as well as quality final product at delivery.
- Apply new concepts and techniques in the dental clinic and dental laboratory.
