Consideraciones de los materiales disponibles en América Latina para la fabricación de coronas cerámicas libres de metal
El siguiente artículo es una revisión de la literatura odontológica el cual se ha redactado con la intención de llevar al clínico a través de una actualización de los materiales dentales cerámicos libres de metal disponibles en América Latina.

A retrospective analysis of 102 zirconia single crowns with knife-edge margins
In this retrospective evaluation, feldspathic porcelain veneered-zirconia crowns with knife-edge margins provided clinical performance similar to that reported with other margin designs.

Advanced Esthetic Management of Dental Implants: Surgical and Restorative Considerations to Improve Outcomes
This article demonstrates the importance of proper surgical and prosthetic principles in achieving esthetic implant results.Successful dental implant therapy in the maxillary anterior dentition requires meticulous attention to surgical and prosthodontic measures. Proper diagnosis, extraction technique, implant selection, and placement significantly impact outcomes. Respect of hard and soft tissue physiology following tooth loss and implant placement requires specific steps be taken. Management tissue contours properly, via regenerative therapy, results in successful framing of the restoration. Provisionalization and definitive restorative therapy also impacts the level of esthetic success.The contours of the temporary abutment and crown develop soft tissue contours for the final restoration. Overcontouring can lead to soft tissue recession and mucosal asymmetry. Design of the definitive crown(s) is crucial for long-term maintenance of esthetically acceptable results.

Chu's Esthetic Gauges - Part 1
Dr. Stephen Chu demonstrates a new instrument for assessing tooth dimension.

Posterior Occlusion for Differing Jaw Relationships Along with Esthetic Waxing - Part 1
Illustrating various posterior occlusal principals, Mutually Protected Occlusion, Lingualized Occlusion and more will be discussed in relation to dental implants.

Estetica e funzione nelle riabilitazioni protesiche complesse: Approccio multidisciplinare alla luce delle nuove tecnologie e dei nuovi materiali - Part 3 of 3
Vedremo quindi come abbiamo sostituito materiali e tecniche tradizionali con altri innovativi che solo attraverso le nuove tecnologie è possibile lavorare, e come i risultati ottenuti con queste sistematiche siano sovrapponibili e a volte migliori di quelli tradizionali.

“The Full Arch Patient”; A Fully Digital Affair
Guided Surgery (GS) is a concept where you are guided by the rehabilitation needs of your patient to perform the implant surgery procedure based on all the info that we process via planning software that are loaded with digital files coming from intra-oral scanning (IOS) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). After planning the case, we print a surgical guide or stent to perform the surgery, this technique allows us to do it flap or flapless in a complete secure environment, quicker and more precise if we compare to "freehand" surgery. However, we have to be careful because not all the systems are the same; those who use scoops as reductors are less precise than the "scoopless", no matter which system we use we have to be clear to understand that all the classic concepts of osseointegration are not erased by guided surgery, especially bone physiology.

Achieving Esthetic Results Through Restorative Solutions in Implant Dentistry
In the anterior maxilla, the rehabilitation of patients with implant supported restorations is often challenging for clinicians due to the high esthetic demand expressed by patients and anatomic limitations. This lecture will concentrate on restorative treatment guidelines to achieve esthetic results in implant dentistry. It will provide solutions to improve esthetic outcome, as well as guidelines to achieve a more predictable result. In addition, evidence-based outcomes reported in literature evaluating “Pink” implants and abutments will be discussed. This presentation will focus on the interdisciplinary relationship of the surgeon and restorative doctor for all restorative options in tooth replacement therapy.

Smile Design and Team Work
The protocol that is presented will improve the esthetic diagnosis, the communication and the predictability of anterior ceramic restorations.
