The bonded ceramic cantilever bridge: an alternative to implants

Description Additional Information The Alternative to Implants This 2-day workshop is designed to enable practitioners to master the design and fabrication of cantilevered bonded bridges, in both the anterior and posterior regions, from clinical indication through bonding to post-restoration follow-up. Select clinical situations suitable for cantilever bridges Create a digital treatment plan for the remainder of the procedure (SmileCloud) Evaluate the quality of a cantilever preparation and identify high-risk configurations Diagnose and manage major complications Account for posterior mechanical constraints to finalize and verify the clinical outcome Digital smile design with SmileCloud—simulation of the replacement of the missing tooth and evaluation of aesthetic integration, prior to clinical preparation on incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.
