Prosthodontics Day Early Clinical Essentials 2 FOR 1 OFFER FOR 1st - 3rd YEAR GRADUATES 2 lectures for the price of 1! Topics Dr Simon Watson - Onlays—material, inidcations and cavity design The continuing evolution of bonded restorative materials and clinical protocols has resulted in a renewed interest in relatively conservative cuspal coverage restorations when compared to conventional full coverage crowns. However, as these restorations are often more technique sensitive and may be more demanding on the clinician, it is easy to quickly lose confidence and return to more aggressive full coverage tooth preparations. This lecture will review indications for cuspal coverage restorations, treatment options for onlay designs, preparation guidelines and some clinical tips for impressions, cementation and maintenance Dr Zainab Hamudi - Which ceramic system? A review of current options from a clinical perspective In the last few decades there has been a trend towards expanding the use of all-ceramic restorations for more clinical applications. The advances in composition has improved the mechanical properties of currently available porcelain material, allowing more predictable use in more restorative situations. But does that mean that dental porcelain can replace any metal in restorative dentistry? Do we still need to use porcelain bonded to metal or even full metal restorations? Dr Kirtha Kosalram—Treatment planing and designing bridges Resin–bonded bridges are a key component of fixed prosthodontics. Often neglected since the arrival of dental implants, this area of dentistry can be particularly useful in restoration of the dentate patient. Thus lecture aims to discuss important treatment considerations in planning resin-bonded bridges, preparation designs, materials and longevity. At the end of the lecture, participants will gain an understanding of case selection, clinical aspects of planning and bridge construction.
