New materials and techniques are introduced on a daily basis. Many restorative materials exist today that were not deemed possible a decade ago as a result of new discoveries. However, the clinical performances of some contemporary materials offered today are not as efficacious as those released 10 years ago. This presentation will compare the advantages and benefits of proven classic materials and techniques to that of the latest products. The morning session will review a variety of the materials and techniques used in fixed prosthodontic procedures. Adhesion and composite restorative dentistry will be the focus of the afternoon program. Amongst the topics to be presented are:
∙ Restoration of the endodontically treated tooth
∙ Latest improvements in impression materials
∙ Physical properties relating to the clinical usage of impression materials
∙ Predictable pre-impression soft tissue management
∙ Altering the surface characteristics to achieve consistent perfect impressions
∙ Latest advancements in monolithic zirconia restorations
∙ Adhesive systems and adhesive restorable materials
∙ Optimal methods for finishing and polishing composite materials
∙ Review of adhesive systems which include laboratory and clinical trial results
