Considerable effort is invested in selecting the optimum material for chairside CAD/CAM restorations. However, even with the best of intentions, the post-milling processing of the material can significantly influence the clinical outcome. This program will explain the most predictable and efficient post-milling processes for high strength ceramic and zirconia restorations. 

A key element to the success of chairside CAD/CAM restorations is the post-milling processing of the restoration. This hands-on workshop provides experience in the clinical workflow for processing high-strength ceramic and zirconia restorations. Recommendations for esthetic modification, as well as polishing techniques, are reviewed. The focus is on providing a predictable, efficient process to ensure the optimum clinical outcome for both maximizing the strength and esthetics of the restorations.

Join in a discussion of the newest materials introduced for chairside CAD/ CAM restorations including high strength ceramics and zirconia. Updates on other chairside CAD/CAM materials will be assessed as innovative clinical applications have evolved for their application. Clinical research evidence will be presented to illustrate current outcomes.
