Abstract:
Ceramics 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.
