Ten years, ten speakers.

JOIN US to celebrate the 10^th anniversary of Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. on October 7^th, 2022.

Improving dentistry with high-end dental products and solutions – that was the idea behind the merger of the two multinational companies Kuraray Medical and Noritake Dental Supply exactly ten years ago. By combining their expertise in polymer chemistry, chemical engineering and ceramics, Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. successfully developed a whole range of innovative products and solutions. They support dental professionals in delivering minimally-invasive, sometimes even bio-active dental treatments in straightforward procedures. In the virtual symposium titled “Up to now and from now on: From innovation to simplification”, ten internationally renowned experts will share their scientific, technical and clinical know-how around these materials and approaches. The programme is divided into five sessions that may be attended separately or as a whole.

An update on modern direct bonding and adhesive luting technologies is provided by two eminent authorities in their field, Prof. Junji Tagami (Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Japan) and Prof. Bart Van Meerbeek (University of Leuven, Belgium). The focus will be on the technology behind and the use of the latest generation of universal adhesives and adhesive resin cements.

Is it a good idea to start processing translucent zirconia in the dental office? According to Dr. Mike Skramstad (CEREC trainer and practitioner form Orono, Minnesota) and Dr. Sameer Puri (Director of CAD/CAM at CDOCS), it clearly is, as it may change everyone’s way of practicing dentistry for the better. In their lecture, the two experts describe their chairside workflow in detail, including finishing and polishing steps.

How to select the best zirconia for a specific case? In their lecture, the popular master ceramists RDT Aki Yoshida (Gnathos Dental Studio in Weston, Massachusetts) and DT Nondas Vlachopoulos (AestheticLab in Athens, Greece) present their success strategies. Their focus is on the selection of the best suitable type of zirconia and finishing technique depending on the indication and on patient-specific needs.

Is it possible to simplify direct restorative procedures without compromising the outcomes? In many situations, it is – provided that the right materials and techniques are selected. Dr. Nicola Scotti (University of Turin, Italy) and Prof. Lorenzo Breschi (University of Bologna, Italy) will focus on the single-shade technique, discussing its capabilities and limitations.

How to condition ceramic surfaces prior to their cementation? And what are the parameters guiding the decision for adhesive, self-adhesive or conventional systems? Dr. Gerard Chiche (Augusta University, Dental College of Georgia) and Prof. Dr. Markus B. Blatz (University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) know the answers. In their lecture, they share exactly the knowledge needed to achieve predictable results.
