Advanced Veneer Technology with Kang Ming Chien
Unlock Zirconia Bonding Technology and Ceramic Painting Skills on Monolithic Restorations
Location: Chicago, IL
Date: February 23rd
8CE CREDITS
Since its introduction in the 20th century, zirconia has revolutionized the dental field with its growing applications and maturity as a material. However, as a polycrystalline ceramic without silica content, zirconia cannot use traditional glass-ceramic bonding and etching processes to enhance bonding strength. This limitation has made thin zirconia veneers challenging to use clinically.
Improving the clinical bonding strength of zirconia has become a key focus in dentistry. Significant literature supports advancements in this area, so dental practitioners now better understand zirconia bonding techniques. This course will demonstrate how to utilize ceramic primer and lithium disilicate coatings to improve zirconia's bonding strength and longevity, enabling thin veneers to achieve excellent clinical outcomes.
