Course Description (Lecture Style Webinar)
There is a myth that CAD/CAM users have to prep the tooth in a very aggressive manner to have successful restorations. This statement is far from true, as in today's CAD/CAM world, there are so many materials available. The preparation employed should be defect driven, and the material chosen should complement the preparation.
Objectives:
1. Learn the different materials available in Todays cadcam arena.
2. Learn the physical properties of these materials.
3. Learn how the preparation dictates the use of material.
4. Learn the different kind of preparations from partial to full coverage.
