Hilla™ Porcelain Transfer: Replicate the Internal and External Structures of Natural Teeth
Make monolithic crowns pop with this esthetic and natural-looking digital ceramic transfer that simplifies the task of creating incisal characterization in a crown. The digital ceramic transfer material is extremely thin—6 microns— and creates 3D dimensionality regardless of the porcelain thickness. Uri Yarovesky, CDT, shows how to apply Hilla™ Porcelain Transfers universally on all porcelains, internally or externally; use Hilla to simplify and improve the process of characterizing lab-processed restorations; and develop better communication between the laboratory, dentist and patient with the incisal characterization guide.

The Pink Hybrid Restoration: Christian Coachman, DDS, CDT, outlines an alternative to existing surgical and orthodontic options to esthetically enhance the deficient anterior ridge. Emphasis is on the analysis, design, benefits and manufacturing of the three-dimensional prosthetic reconstruction of deficient ridges and the restoration's ability to enhance the esthetics of the final tooth form (White Esthetics) and gingival design (Pink Esthetics) as well as lip support. He details a decision-making protocol to help create the most successful esthetic and functional outcome.

Primotec USA
Implants Made Easy
A successful implant case starts with proper centric relation, implant position planning, the right scanning and implant surgical guides as well as verification indexes and insertion keys. Joachim Mosch, MDT, explains how these splints, guides and keys can be economically made with Primosplint light-cured composite splint material. He also covers how to precisely and quickly fabricate single-unit to full-arch implant cases using Metacon light-cured wax. The Metacon waxup polymerizes into acrylic when light cured, allowing you to precisely check the fit before casting, even intraorally. Various approaches to welding implant-borne structures are explored, either when the parts are cast, assembled with pre-fabricated implant abutments and bars, or are CAD/CAM milled. The primotec phaser pulsed micro arc welding units can help with these cases with efficiency at very reasonable investment costs.

Removable Partial Dentures--The Lost Art
An esthetic and functional attachment-retained removable partial denture is an excellent option for patients who aren't good candidates for or can't afford implant-supported bridges but desire a natural-looking removable prosthesis. Tom Bormes introduces a new patented technology where the first tooth in the removable partial denture becomes a veneered pontic that matches and blends with the veneered crown on the retaining abutment. This is not a cantilevered pontic; it's part of the removable partial denture.

Dr. Michael DiTolla: State-of-the-Art Impressions for Digital Restorative Dentistry
As a dentist who practices within the largest lab in the U.S., Michael DiTolla, DDS, FAGD, has access to tens of thousands of doctor's preps and impressions on a monthly basis. As a result, he has an intimate knowledge of the common habits of the dentists getting the best restorative results. As a self-proclaimed "average dentist", he has found techniques that give him great restorative results with a very average set of hands. The only dentist in the country who has all four commercially available digital impression systems, Dr. DiTolla is one of the country's leading authorities on this technology. He explains the concept of Digital Restorative Dentistry, demonstrates how it is more accurate than traditional restorative dentistry and shows how digital impressions can lead to more economical restorations for doctors and patients alike.

“The Functional and Esthetic Blueprint” : The Key Elements for Predictable Success
A beautiful smile is magic...creating one is not. In spite of all the new technology and materials available today, managing and restoring large cases is still dependent on a step-by-step system for predictable results. All too often, dentists and ceramists don't fully understand what is required of each other and time and patient confidence is lost at the time of seating. There's nothing worse for a ceramist than working on a case without knowing if it's really going to work in the mouth. Gilbert Young, CDT, provides an overview of the elements of design and predictability that both dentists and ceramists control and discusses the importance of the intraoral mock as a communication tool; how to finetune the design and function of anterior restorations; and ways to manage color and brightness with the "esthetic framework technique."
