Ceramic Systems, Cements &
Techniques for the 21 st Century
Practice
Dr. John A. Sorensen
Portland, Oregon
Founder and Director of Pacific Dental Institute,
practice limited to Prosthodontics
Topics to be discussed:
• All-ceramic systems from Alumina to Zirconia are presented and compared to traditional and alternative
metal-ceramic restorations for the properties of strength, esthetics and ease of handling.
• Clinical trials on many all-ceramic crown and bridge systems are offered to support use of the systems
in private practice.
• Various sophisticated CAD/CAM fabrication technologies for zirconia substructures and conventional
ceramics are illustrated.
• Selection criteria and indications for the various all-ceramic systems.
• Current principles for restoration of endodontically treated teeth.
• Tooth preparation designs for various ceramic restorations and minimally invasive tooth preparations are
demonstrated.
* Designs for veneers, partial veneers, anterior crowns, posterior crowns, onlays and posterior partial
veneer crowns.
• Tooth preparation designs and techniques for full crown all-ceramics
• Patient evaluation, esthetic analysis, smile design, diagnostic casts and diagnostic waxups.
• Selection criteria for the most appropriate ceramic material and cement to match existing teeth.
• Improved shade selection techniques using both the eye and digital technology.
• Soft tissue management in the esthetic zone – maintenance and enhancement of the interdental papilla,
ovate pontic design and techniques for natural looking bridges.
• The latest cements are described along with simplified techniques for cementation of ceramic restorations
and finishing methodologies.
* Criteria for cement selection

Bonded Restorations in the Posterior

Los Angeles, California

Health Care, University of Southern California, School of Dentistry
(USCSD), Los Angeles.

Innovative Ceramic
Restorations Utilizing Chairside
CAD/CAM Technology
Dr. Dennis J. Fasbinder
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Clinical Professor of Dentistry
Director, Advanced Education in General Dentistry
University of Michigan School of Dentistry
This presentation is for doctors who are interested in
exploring the clinical capabilities of adhesive, ceramic
restorations in a single appointment utilizing CAD/CAM
technology. An overview of the clinical technique will be
presented as it relates to workflow, software design of the
restoration, machining of the contours, and delivery of
the final restoration. Evidenced-based information will
be presented to answer common questions on margin
integrity and adaptation, esthetic results, controlling
occlusion, frequency of post-operative sensitivity, the
variety of materials available for chair-side applications,
and clinical longevity of partial coverage and full crown
restorations.
Patients' requests and clinicians' interest in esthetic restorations are not limited to anterior teeth. As a result,
posterior “tooth-colored” adhesive restorative techniques considerably grew over the last decade and a
plethora of materials and methods are available to the clinician today. The survival rates of adhesive
restorations in posterior teeth appears to be quite satisfying, even placed by dental students, to the point that
some countries today have abandoned the teaching of amalgam restorations and other traditional metallic
restorations. Apart from their cosmetic advantage, the new adhesive techniques offer many other benefits
such as tissue conservation and natural strengthening of remaining tooth substance. These emerging
concepts, which are following the so-called “biomimetic approach”, provide the ability to restore not only
the esthetic but also the biomechanical and structural integrity of teeth. This presentation will show that
dental composites and ceramics constitute striking elements of this nascent approach to tooth restoration.
Indications for bonded restorations in the posterior dentition will be presented, including the biomimetic
approach to severe loss of coronal substance and nonvital teeth. Attendants should benefit from these considerable
improvements that should influence both the medicobiological and socioeconomical approaches of
their practice: more sound tissue preservation, maintenance of tooth vitality, less expensive procedures
compared to traditional and more invasive “prosthodontics”. Within this wide array of techniques, the
presentation will focus on bonded porcelain restorations and explain why they constitute the ideal solution
to the functional and esthetic needs of the posterior dentition.

Highlights
Friday, April 18, 2008
The Secrets of Restorative
Excellence for Implant
Dentistry
Dr. Kenneth S. Hebel, B.Sc., D.D.S., M.Sc.
London, Ontario
Dr. Hebel has the appointment of Adjunct Professor at
the School of Dentistry, University of Western Ontario
Recreating Nature:
The Harmony of Function
and Esthetics
Mr. Lee Culp Bradenton
Florida
Founder of Mosaic Studios and Director of the Institute
for Oral Art and Design.
This day focuses on practical take home procedures for your practice whether you are fully
engaged or just beginning to provide implants procedures for your patients.
Restoration of dental implants is often presented as complicated and time consuming.
The presentation will emphasize the use of standard prosthodontic principles to simplify the
restoration of dental implants.
An organized approach will be presented for the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment planning
of dental patients. Simple rules for developing a proper plane of occlusion and associated
implant selection, positioning and restoration allow you to maximize function and esthetics.
Concepts of smile design will be used to predict treatment outcomes and determine the need for
bone and soft tissue management. Abutment selection, types of cements, cementation
techniques, retrievability and esthetics will be presented.
As patients become more educated to modern dentistry’s
advances, their motivation and desire for natural esthetic,
restorative dentistry is increasing at a dramatic rate. Dentists
are now fulfilling these patient demands, but many are
concerned only with the visual impact of the smile, with total
disregard to proper occlusion, envelope of function, and
phonetics, resulting in broken restorations, speech problems,
and patient dissatisfaction.
The newest technology to enter dentistry is Computer Aided
Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing. This technology is
accepted due to it’s advantage of increased speed, accuracy and
efficiency. Today’s CAD-CAM systems are being used to
design and manufacture metal, aluminia, and zirconia
frameworks, as well as all ceramic full contour crowns, inlays,
and veneers that may be stronger, fit better, and are more
esthetic than restorations fabricated using traditional methods.
CAD-CAM systems will be presented as well as the latest
development, in materials and computer milling technology.
This lecture will offer participants a unique insight into the
replication of natural esthetics while focusing on proper
function and occlusal harmony. You will learn a format for
achieving that often-elusive goal of pleasing the patient, dentist,
and ceramist with creative ceramic artistry.
Aspects to be covered during the day:
• Diagnostic and treatment planning
• Digital photography
• Dentist/technician communication
• Metal ceramic and all ceramic techniques
• Computer color measurement
• Articulator selection
• Esthetics and smile design
