Digital dentistry does not have to be complicated or expensive to implement. In this webinar, Dr. Sully Sullivan explores how bite splints can serve as one of the easiest and most practical entry points into a same-day digital workflow. By leveraging digital impressions and chairside visualization tools such as tablets and iPads, clinicians can transform the diagnostic conversation into a more engaging and understandable experience for patients. When patients can clearly see their condition and proposed treatment, case acceptance naturally improves.

Dr. Sullivan will also demonstrate how modern design tools powered by artificial intelligence can simplify the design process, allowing clinicians to create bite splints in minutes without relying on costly additional software. When paired with in-office 3D printing, this streamlined approach allows practices to move from scan to finished appliance in a single day.

Attendees will walk away with a practical, repeatable workflow that integrates digital impressions, AI-assisted design, and chairside manufacturing. The result is a simplified digital process that improves efficiency, enhances the patient experience, and enables practices to deliver same-day solutions starting the very next day.

This course delivers a practical, chairside-oriented approach to cementation and bonding techniques for ceramic crown restorations. The program begins by contrasting adhesive bonding with resin cements versus conventional cementation using resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) cements, highlighting clinical indications, benefits, and potential drawbacks of each option.

Participants will then review key differences between self-adhesive resin cements and resin cements used with separate bonding agents, with guidance on selecting the most appropriate system for specific restorative scenarios. Real-world clinical cases are used throughout the course to illustrate material selection and clinical decision-making.

The session concludes by addressing frequently asked clinical questions, including zirconia surface treatment for RMGI cementation, recommended air-abrasion pressures, light-curing considerations, and strategies for recementing debonded ceramic restorations.

Upon completion, attendees will have a clear, evidence-based workflow for choosing and executing cementation protocols for ceramic crowns.
