Considerable effort is invested in selecting the optimum material for chairside CAD/CAM restorations. However, even with the best of intentions, the post-milling processing of the material can significantly influence the clinical outcome. This program will explain the most predictable and efficient post-milling processes for high strength ceramic and zirconia restorations. 

A key element to the success of chairside CAD/CAM restorations is the post-milling processing of the restoration.  This hands-on workshop will provide experience in the clinical workflow for processing high strength ceramic and zirconia restorations. Recommendations for esthetic modification as well as polishing techniques will be reviewed. The focus will be on providing a predictable, efficient process to ensure the optimum clinical outcome for both maximizing the strength and esthetics of the restorations.

Join in a discussion of the newest materials introduced for chairside CAD/CAM restorations including high strength ceramics and zirconia. Updates on other chairside CAD/CAM materials will be assessed as innovative clinical applications have evolved for their application.  Clinical research evidence will be presented to illustrate current outcomes.
