Aesthetic Restorative Dentistry: Research, Functional-Esthetics & Biocompatibility
The dawn of a new biotechnology era in Aesthetic Dentistry coupled with the recent introduction of metal-free restorations, brought about a spectrum of operative - protocol issues.
The conference will attempt to characterize and optimize the correlation parameters of material science, clinical indications and post-operative implications.
• Universal direct restorative fillings
• Condensable Class II
• Class Verosion-site repair
• Luting cements and fl owable composites
• Polyceram prosthodontics; alloyless, fiberless laminate veneers, inlay/onlay, crown & bridge
• Implant superstructure
• Adhesive dentistry - interfacial-bond affinity and longevity
• Photopolymerization; Halogen, Led, Xenon & Laser.
In-Vitro and In-Vivo data will be presented to ascertain the following:
• The elimination of post-operative sensitivity: cold, hot and pressure symptomology - underlying mechanism, masticatory cyclic fatigue and marginal integrity
• The physiology of occlusion: composite vs. ceramics and alloys
• The success of implant interfacial osseointegration - transitional loading period superstructure macrorigidity vs. microelasticity
• Functional - Aesthetic, properties of materials
• Tooth preparation methodology; effects and side-effects
• Auxiliary materials, contraindications and long-term effects; hemostatic agents, isolation materials and techniques, liners and glass ionomers, provisional temporizing agents and sealants
• Ceramo - repairs
• Biocompatibility and Cytotoxicity - reactivity, irritation, infl ammation and manifestation
• Color and Gloss value: Opacity/Translucency stratifi cation gradients
• Polishing materials and techniques.
You, the clinician, will leave this conference with a comprehensive understanding of Optimum Aesthetic Restorative Dentistry for the new millennia.
