Lorenzo Pelizzari
10:30- 10:50
How can I achieve a good predictable outcome when working with zirconia? What do I have to pay attention to in order to avoid common errors in the dental workflow? The lecture draws attention to technical aspects and factors that influence the final result of a zirconia restoration. By showing a real, complex case, the lecturer will illustrate the challenges arisen during each workflow step, from patient diagnostic to characterisation, providing keys to overcome them successfully. Special attention will be given to impression-taking, occlusion registration, passivity check and correct material selection. The process of creating high-end, predictable zirconia solutions also involves a well-established communication between dental technicians, clinicians and surgeons. For this reason, the lecturer will also focus on the latest digital diagnostic devices – a key aspect for improving communication within the treatment team.

My lecture will take a look at recognising signs and providing compassionate support. I hope that after listening to my lecture, dental professionals will feel empowered to be able to signpost victims to organisations that can help them.
