COURSE OVERVIEW
Digital dentistry continues to evolve, offering clinicians expanded opportunities to deliver efficient, predictable, same-day restorations. This course focuses on practical chairside workflows for zirconia restorations within modern CAD/CAM systems.
Participants will examine current digital technologies—including intraoral scanning, in-office milling, utilizing CBCT, and —and how they support restorative treatment planning and execution. Emphasis will be placed on utilizing zirconia material for in-office solution using zirconia blocks.
Through clinical examples, attendees will gain insight into realistic zirconia indications, simplified finishing protocols, and workflows that balance efficiency, strength, and esthetics in everyday practice.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By attending this webinar you will learn how to:
-
Describe the role of current digital dentistry technologies in supporting chairside restorative workflows.
-
Compare in-office milling and laboratory fabrication options for zirconia restorations, and how that affects your overall production.
-
Identify clinical indications suitable for chairside zirconia using zirconia blocks.
-
Apply simplified (finishing) workflows to improve efficiency and predictability of in-office zirconia restorations.
