General Information

Dr. DiTolla’s approach to preps and impressions includes step-by-step instruction and was tested on the most average dentist he knows—himself! Many courses focus on large restorative cases to teach these principles, the types of cases most clinicians do once or twice a year. This presentation will focus on what dentists spend most of their time doing: one and two unit cases.

Course Description 

After completing this program, the dental professional should be able to:

• Recognize the shift from PFM’s to monolithic materials that allow the clinician to use high strength materials while satisfying patient’s esthetic desires. • Understand when the use of a rapid anesthesia technique and how anesthetizing mandibular molars without a block is beneficial for clinicians and patients. • Understand digital impressions and their use in digital restorative dentistry and see a demonstration of each of the currently available systems. • Be familiar with full contour zirconia and the pros and cons of using this structural ceramic material as a crown and bridge material. • Cut through the all-ceramic decision confusion, and understand how the CAD/CAM milling process can improve consistency and quality. • Stop calls from your lab about needing more room or a new impression. • Distinguish the correct shade. • Lower the incidence of remakes dramatically (resulting in increased profitability!)
