Digital CAD/CAM restorative materials… Prof Dennis Fasbinder

Description

The choice to implement CAD/CAM technology can be confounded by the array of available restorative materials as well as the variety of potential clinical applications. This presentation will translate the scientific evidence on the material applications for CAD/CAM systems. A number of the presenter’s long-term clinical research projects will be used to illustrate clinical outcomes as they relate to integrating CAD/CAM systems in a modern dental practice.

Learning Outcomes
• Gain knowledge on restorative material options for CAD/CAM systems
• Gain knowledge on clinical longevity, margin integrity, and fracture resistance of CAD/CAM all-ceramic materials

Prof Dennis Fasbinder
A Clinical Professor in the Department of Cariology, Restorative Sciences and Endodontics, University of Michigan, School of Dentistry, Dr Fasbinder directs the Computerized Dentistry Unit that is dedicated to research and education on CAD/CAM dental systems. It has been a leader in education and research with the chairside CAD/CAM systems and digital impression systems since 1993 resulting in numerous publications. He is a frequent speaker on ceramic-based dentistry and digital dental systems at meetings and conferences in North America and International locations.
