Supra-gingival Dentistry

Easy, Predictable Porcelain Veneers, Onlays, and Full Crowns

1 Day Lecture | 5 CE Hours

Synopsis

When a larger part of the tooth is missing or decayed, Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) crowns are by far the most popular indirect restorations, although they have some less than ideal characteristics. Clinicians often feel that non-metal bonded restorations are more difficult and less predictable than traditional dentistry. In this course Dr. Ruiz will demonstrate how non-metal restorations performed using supra-gingival techniques, make dentistry more predictable and trouble-free; as well as healthier for the patient, than any traditional restoration has ever been. Placing supra-gingival margins ultimately allows clinicians to make porcelain restorations healthier for the gingival tissue. In this course, Dr. Ruiz will demonstrate material selection and a new paradigm in preparation and cementation for porcelain veneers, onlays and full crowns. This course will touch on the importance and application of a simple and predictable system for performing comprehensive diagnosis, esthetic evaluation, and Occlusal diagnosis. Dr. Ruiz will show the step-by-step procedure for tooth preparation, temporization, and sensitivity-free easily bonded cementation using "Supra-gingival Dentistry" techniques.
