Ceramic Restorative Workshop

Presented by Dr David Roessler with Associate Professor Liz Martin

Ceramic materials have the potential to be the most aesthetic and conservative of all indirect restorations. But which ceramic should we be using - zirconia, alumina, dilithium silicate or feldspathic? Whether posterior or anterior, will ceramics last? When should we use a bonded ceramic?

What are the differences between bonding ceramics and bonding composite resin? Should facings, crowns and inlay/onlays be bonded the same way and with the same cement? Will bonding protect teeth and ceramic from fracture? How should we prepare the teeth? When should we opt for a crown, a veneer or a creneer? When is an inlay best and when should we cap cusps? Do we need to alter anything for Digital Dentistry?

The two-day hands-on workshop will help you:

  • Resolve which ceramic system you should use
  • Recognise the bonding technique that matches the restoration
  • Know when ceramic veneers will work & when they won’t
  • See advantages of extended veneers (creneers)
  • Determine when to do crowns and when they should be all-ceramic
  • Realise when to consider ceramic inlay/onlays
  • Understand mixing techniques and materials
