Spotlight on CDE
Digital Fundamentals – Simplifying the Complexities
of Today’s Digital Dental Techniques
One of the intriguing developments in restorative
dentistry has been the use of zirconia and the rise of
CaD/Cam technology in prosthodontic fabrication.
Dentists who want to be fully up to speed
in these areas will benefit from the Digital
fundamentals course to be offered on Oct.
23 (see CDe listings). Course topics include:
n The impact of zirconia and CaD/Cam
technology on contemporary dental practice
n Zirconia: facts and fiction
n Digital impression technique: Is it time to replace
the conventional material-based method?
n High-tech planning for esthetic implant
restorations
Course attendees should be able to:
n understand the properties of zirconia and how it translates to clinical
usage
n Describe the techniques and technologies available for fabricating
zirconia-based restorations and custom implant abutments, and how the
advent of CaD/Cam technology supports their fabrication
n Discuss how to clinically attain more predictable esthetic and functional
results with zirconia-based restorations
n Identify the different types of zirconia and different processing techniques
n explain what causes porcelain chipping and how to prevent it
n Develop innovative uses for zirconia porcelains for conservative bonded
porcelain restorations
n formulate preparation guidelines
n recognize framework design for esthetics and how to safely adjust
zirconia
n Discuss cements and cementation of zirconia-based restorations
n Discuss the advantages of cone beam imaging for planning implant
placement
n explain biomechanical treatment planning concepts
n Communicate the above information through computer-generated
surgical templates to idealize implant placement
The course offers seven hours of CDe credit. Tuition is $260 for
dentists (10 percent off for current Dental alumni association members)
and $165 for staff before Oct. 21; fees go up $10 after that date. all
proceeds from the course will benefit the uW school of Dentistry’s new
advanced Technology lab.
