4th World Congress on
CERAMICS: IMPLANTOLOGY AND RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Shepard DeLong
Lotus Dental Wellness, USA
C eramics have long been an essential and vital part of restorative dentistry. More recently, ceramic implant
fixtures as well as new restorative materials provide metal free life like and biocompatible solutions for
patient’s dental needs. Functional and immunologically sound, ceramics are building momentum in clinical
dentistry and surgery. Globally, only a small fraction of dentists, surgeons, researchers, technicians, restorative
and implant manufacturers are participating in this growing field. In this presentation Dr DeLong will share
a series of his own clinical case reports, research behind currently available ceramics and a view towards the
future of non-metal dentistry.
