12h-13h – Jacky et Franck PENNARD : “The way of aesthetics. Understanding failures and successes in all ceramics”.
Zirconia and lithium di-silicates can meet the aesthetic expectations of patients and practitioners. Manufacturers are constantly changing the characteristics of these materials. Therefore, a better knowledge of their properties makes it possible to establish adapted protocols, guaranteeing the durability of the prostheses.
What translucency and strength will be adapted to make a full zirconia or implant bridge?
What are our choices to optimize manufacturing processes and colour control?
What are the most frequent causes of failure?
The carving of the preparations, the design of the infrastructures, the chipping, the work on colour, the cooking are all elements that we will study in response to these problems mentioned in different studies.
It is through the mastery of materials and their implementation that we can hope to reach our aesthetic ambitions.

15h-16h – Eric BERGER (VITA ZAHNFABRIK) – THE DIGITAL ARTISAN : Integration of aesthetic materials in the daily practice of the laboratory.
The world of CAD / CAM is constantly growing, offering us every day new spaces of applications. But in this new universe, what is the best material for the best aesthetics? From simulation of the smile on real achievements, we will develop our reflection for the choice of the good material. This necessary expertise for each case is changing our status as a craftsman to true digital artisans.
