speaker
Alan Atlas, DMD is a clinical professor in the department of preventive and restorative sciences at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. He maintains a private practice located in Philadelphia, PA.

The rapid rise of digital technologies and ability to fabricate CAD-CAM crowns is transforming the dental profession dramatically. However, it is clear from the scientific evidence, the ability to deliver a long-term successful restoration is dependent upon many factors not experienced with the traditional fabrication methods. This course will demonstrate concise treatment planning guidelines that integrates current materials with digital technology as well as conventional clinical protocols. Procedures and techniques for esthetic and functional success with high strength ceramics and CAD/CAM technology will be reviewed and demonstrated with the Dental Microscope HD Video. Based on the most current scientific evidence, step-by-step chair side protocols from preparation to cementation for ceramic crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays and veneers will be assessed.

After this course attendees will be able to:
  • Discuss the factors affecting precise fit and the causes of premature failure of indirect restorations
  • Explain clinical protocols for anterior and posterior ceramic-based restorations from treatment planning to cementation
  • Demonstrate step-by-step preparation techniques with the dental microscope HD video using specific diamonds for perfect finish lines required for all ceramic crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays
  • Utilize simple and predictable smile design methods and occlusal analysis for proper treatment planning of esthetic anterior restorations including veneers and full-mouth reconstruction
  • Implement innovative and efficient one-visit workflows for integrating endodontic therapy with chairside scanning and milling
  • Understand how to help patients understand their role in extending the survival of their restorations using effective communicative skills to align patient expectations and avoid unnecessary litigation
