Dental photography as a valuable documentation aid

The main purpose of photography in dentistry is documentation. The aim is to collect as much information as possible under reproducible conditions. For this purpose, the camera used, its accessories and the format and lighting of the intra- and extra oral recordings relevant to dentistry must be standardized. Under standardized photographic conditions, the recordings made can be compared with one another, even if the later recordings are made only after a long period of time and by different photographers. Only in this form can dental photography be used as a valuable documentation aid. The standards described by Wolfgang Bengel in 1985 are still valid, but they have to be updated and adapted to technical innovations.

In this webinar, the current development in the field of dental photography and related areas will be briefly explained.

Dr. Alessandro Devigus has had his own practice with a focus on CEREC since 1990, editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Esthetic Dentistry.

ZIRCONIA: NEW INSIGHTS INTO TRIED AND PROVEN MATERIAL

You learn from your mistakes, but it’s better if you can learn from those of others. Dr. Dirawi will share his experience, tips and tricks when it comes to creating perfect Zirconia restorations.
Having great material like KATANA Zirconia is an excellent starting point. Yet to achieve highly aesthetic outcome you need to be aware of the unexpected pitfalls and challenges that can be prevented.
Join our webinar and learn what Dr. Dirawi has to say after years of using Zirconia. Bonus – we will have a conversation about cementation of zirconia as well, to achieve durable robust results.

ABSTRACT

During the last two decades we have been experiencing an exceptional evolution in adhesive restorative dentistry. Indeed, innovative materials and techniques have been proposed to achieve long-lasting restorations, which could also guarantee an user-friendly use and reliable clinical results. This is particularly true if one considers the rapid evolution of adhesive systems, composites and resin cements. The correct use of such materials, along with the basic principles to obtain a reliable and long-lasting adhesion to dental substrates (e.g. enamel and dentine) can be considered still not totally clear for many clinicians and other dental practitioners.

Thus, this lecture will aim at presenting the state of the art on adhesion to enamel and dentine through an accurate analysis of our most recent scientific observations and laboratory data. Furthermore, laboratory data obtained during our recent in vitro studies to evaluate the adhesive performance and longevity of a new generation self-adhesive cement (Panavia SA Universal) to a polycrystalline ceramic substrate (Zirconia, HT Katana) and to a vitreous ceramic (lithium disilicate) will be also presented and discussed .

ZIRCONIA: TEN YEARS AFTER ITS USE

Considered one of the most recent materials in the field of dentistry and despite being a relatively young material, zirconia has taken on an ever-widening space in the last decade and seems destined to play a fundamental role in the future. The success can be traced back to several factors that allowed this material to be considered a viable alternative to dental alloys, through a rapid and evolutionary path and an innovative use of the technologies associated with it. The report will highlight, through the exposure of significant and chronologically exposed clinical cases, the evolutionary process of zirconia and the technologies applied to it ten years after its use.

Adhesive luting of all-ceramic restorations

The adhesive cementation of dental restorations is becoming increasingly important and is changing the treatment methods in restorative dentistry. This webinar shows which methods can be used to durably lute all-ceramic restorations - both silicate ceramics and zirconia ceramics. 

The clinically proven procedure is clearly illustrated using clinical examples such as ceramic Tabletops (onlays without retentive preparation) and single-wing resin bonded fixed dental prothesis in the anterior and posterior region.

Zirconia, Oral scanner, feather edge preparation: the “winning triad”

The introduction of digital technology associated with the development of the latest zirconia materials offers the clinical and the dental technician a wide range of solutions to achieve aesthetics and function in a simple, predictable and above all conservative way. A further type of vertical preparation called "Minimally Invasive Vertical Preparation" has been introduced, applicable to numerous prosthetic clinical situations including cases of aesthetics. Minimally invasive vertical preparations, new type of zirconia and intraoral scanners represent a “winner triad” for today's prosthetic therapy.

"YOU CAN’T STOP THE WAVES, BUT YOU CAN LEARN TO SURF"

Born in Savona in 1989, he studied and got his diploma at “Mazzini” Dental School, the one dental school in his hometown, and he still lives there. In 2007 he was awarded the National Award for Best Dental Technician in Turin. Since 2008 he has been working at Daniele Rondoni’s Dental Lab and he is now in charge of the aesthetic planning of dental restorations. He shares this task with Master Dental Technician Daniele Rondoni, with whom he decides which strategy and materials – composites or ceramic especially – to opt for. In 2011 he coauthored with Mr. Rondoni “Sei faccette additive in composito” (Six additional composite facets), an article published in Dental Labor, 5/2011. A teacher at NISC, Noritake Italian Study Club since 2014, he is also a teacher at the AAT Community College – a reality he feels especially attached to – and he is in charge of the photographic services and social network profiling of the lab.
