Replicating Nature - When Nature Has Been Compromised - Part 2
Dr. Cherilyn Sheets and Dr. Jacinthe Paquette outline anterior tooth preparation design and techniques utilized in smile design and enhancement.

Ultimate Solution for Minimally Invasive Feldspathic Veneers
Full monolithic zirconia with external stain technique is one of the popular preference techniques used today. There are many selections of multi-layered zirconia disks and blocks available in the market, which enable dental technicians to produce faster and more esthetic results. When it comes to anterior fabrication, however, full monolithic is not always the best option to process the case. There are many varieties; unique translucencies and characterization that can be seen naturally, making it nearly impossible to achieve with just an external stain technique. That is to say, in order to achieve a natural and lifelike fabrication, a layering technique must be done. This lecture will speak about all ceramic layering technique with current technology of digital tools and how these technologies may be able to assist us.

Anterior Aesthetic Zone - 100% Digital
Over the past 5 years many digital technologies have merged to allow clinician the opportunity to restore anterior teeth with implants, crowns and veneers. Many of these techniques can now be performed in a 100% digital platform. Utilizing digital imaging, file merging and digital analysis any patient can now be treated with a digital treatment plan: From planning, scanning, designing and printing, the options are endless. Determining the correct and efficient digital path will be presented for these procedures. Ideal capture of information pre-surgically and pre- preparation will allow the clinician ideal control of the hard tissue, soft tissue, tooth structure and implant abutment design. It will be demonstrated how todays digital technologies are predictable, cost effective and easy to learn through our step by step approach

The New Simplified Clinical Protocols For Porcelain & Composite Veneers
This in-depth webinar will address the techniques, products and technology required for the "changed" world of porcelain and composite veneers.

Color in Esthetics: The Science Behind Beauty
This presentation will be very different from programs in color matching, communication and reproduction of natural teeth that you may have attended in the past. The didactic part will emphasize the nature, principles and fundamentals of color, and tools that are essential to master a plan for successful color matching in both office and dental laboratory, together with step-by-step instructions. Examples and practical suggestions will be provided, including the latest changes recommended by the presenter. Dental Color Matcher, a color education and training program for esthetic dentistry authored by the presenter and used by dental professionals and students in 100+ countries, will be demonstrated.

Tips and Tricks for the Adhesive Cementation of Ceramic Inlays, Onlays, and Veneers
This article will cover some clinical tips and tricks that will facilitate the adhesive luting process for inlays, onlays, and veneers.

Treatment of Excessive Gingival Display and Anterior Overeruption: Rehabilitation and Restoration
In order to develop a normal physiologic relationship between the osseous crest and correct the incisal positioning of the gingival margin as related to the CEJ, surgical correction of the patient’s excessive gingival display was required.

Clinical Performance of Porcelain Laminate Veneers: Outcomes of the Aesthetic Pre-evaluative Temporary (APT) Technique
The article evaluates the long-term clinical performance of porcelain laminate veneers bonded to teeth prepared with the use of an additive mock-up and aesthetic pre-evaluative temporary (APT) technique over a 12-year period. Sixty-six patients were restored with 580 porcelain lamintate veneers. Over 12 years, 42 laminate veneers failed, but when the preparations were limited to the enamel, the failure rate resulting from debonding and microleakage decreased to 0%. Porcelain laminate veneers presented a successful clinical performance in terms of marginal adaptation, discoloration, gingival recession, secondary caries, postoperative sensitivity, and satisfaction with restoration shade at the end of 12 years. The APT technique facilitated diagnosis, communication and preparation providing predictability for the restorative treatment. Limiting the preparation depth to the enamel surface significantly increases the performance of porcelain laminate veneers.
