Esthetics in The Age of Monolithic Restorations
Time: 9:10 AM, June 20, 2025
Speaker: Don Cornell
Synopsis:
Rapid improvements in CAD/CAM materials have created a growing demand for monolithic restorations. With roughly 85% of all metal free restorations now monolithic, dental technologists must find new materials and techniques for achieving esthetic outcomes traditionally only possible with ceramic layering. In this presentation, Mr. Cornell will look critically at CAD/CAM materials, where we are today and where we are headed, and how to achieve exceptional esthetic outcomes with monolithic restorations.
Learning Objectives:
- Critical considerations for minimizing wear
- That thickness of ceramic layer does not determine esthetic outcomes
- How we perceive depth and translucency
