“Analogue versus Digital” Anterior and Posterior
Clinicians and dental technicians have access to an astounding array of new technologies, tools and materials to design predictable beautiful smiles.This presentation puts an emphasis on a close co-operation between prosthodontist, periodontist and dental technician. In addition, a focus is placed on different surgical, clinical and prosthetic techniques to achieve successful aesthetics. Material selection is fundamental in management of complex rehabilitation and on implants. The aesthetic outcome and the natural appearance of the restoration depends on the skills of the dental technician. Understanding of the gingiva by the dental technician will be explained to re-create in a two-way communication an aesthetic end result. New concepts and trends with focus on zirconium dioxide
and its excellent long-term behaviour and extraordinary mechanical properties, will be discussed to realize predictable natural oral aesthetics around implants and natural abutments. The di erences between analogue and digital layering technique will be explained to create a natural looking incisal edge and basic colors of the dentition. With new software we can choose occlusal plans out of the library and will simplify our daily work.
• Creating aesthetics by using FCZ or partial veneered posterior and anterior region
• Directly after surgery installing of final Zirconia abutments and provisional restoration/final restoration.
• What is the benefit using Full contour zirconia by single tooth replacement.
