Zirconia and Lithium Disilicate are the 2 most popular current materials for crowns in the US. Although they can looks very similar with their excellent esthetic properties, the materials themselves require different pre-cementation protocols and materials. Understanding the proper way to treat each material before final cementation can effect the long term clinical performance. Additionally, because of the difference in the strength of each material there can be several “best” choices of cements that can be used. This CE webinar is created to discuss and demonstrate the materials, techniques and protocols specific to each material.
Upon completion of this CE webinar, the student will be able to:
- Understand the differences in pre-cementation protocol for zirconia vs lithium disilicate
- Gain an appreciation of how retention and resistance form can dictate the best choice of cements
- Implement the following techniques and understand the appropriate materials to be used in the pre-cementation and cementation process
