This CE webinar will examine how technology has made it possible for clinicians to turn any prepped veneer case into a no-prep case, making our treatment much more conservative, and more acceptable to the patient. With today’s high-strength ceramics and adhesive cementation protocols, veneers can be made as thin as 0.3mm, making esthetic no-prep veneers possible, if the teeth are in the correct position and you're utilizing an esthetic, adhesive cement. No-prep veneers are more difficult to seat than prepped veneers or crowns, and a live demonstration will show a seating technique to mitigate those difficulties and the proper cementation protocol to create lasting, esthetic restorations.

The most used materials in today’s general practice are burs, bonding agents, and composites for direct restorations. The evolution of this group of materials, in particular, is amazing. Today’s light cure resins are light years ahead of the materials that we thought were great 20 years ago. The evolution of materials includes base or lining materials when the proximity to the pulp requires some form of pulpal protection. Calcium has been proven to be a critical adjunct to the armamentarium of all general dentists performing routine decay excavation and tooth restoration. This CE webinar is designed for the busy dentist who wants to stay current with the available materials and concepts of efficient placement of tooth-colored restorations. We will discuss what matters most in pulpal protection material selection, depending upon location and occlusal load put on the restoration. Reduction and elimination of post-operative sensitivity will be addressed.
