Success Simplified: Connecting professionals to optimize indirect restoration workflows.
Speaker: Stefan Vandeweghe
Summary:
Making success in the indirect procedure a predictable outcome is the essence of what 3M call “Success Simplified”. Striving for the ultimate objective of zero defects, this program contains best practice recommendations for the main procedure steps that are involved in the making of indirect restorations. These recommendations are developed primarily for general practitioners and follow the “KIS(S)” principle – Keep it simple (and smart). Based on the latest scientific evidence, they therefore imply standardized protocols which are easy to follow and lead to the desired clinical outcomes in a predictable way.
In case you roll-out courses for other peers, work as Prosthodontist professor, or just Prosthodontics is your passion, you will find a relevant concept to optimize indirect restorations workflows.

11:00 – 12:00 Room B
The use of PRAMA implant in patient rehabilitation: from localized edentulism to the treatment of terminal dentition
Speakers: Luca De Stavola, Leonello Biscaro
Summary:
Aim of the workshop is to describe the diagnosis and treatment concepts in partially dentate patient as well as in potentially edentulous patient. Despite the differences in terms of treatment strategy and goals, in both groups the PRAMA implant choice is common independently from the initial scenario. During the workshop main strategical planning factors will be described as well as key surgical and prosthetic steps.

Feather Edge Preparations for Zirconia Restorations in Full Digital Workflow
Speaker: Carlo Poggio
Summary:
Tooth preparations without a defined finish line have been termed in serveral different
ways, such as vertical, or shoulderless. Last GPT defines “feather edge” as a preparation without a visible reference (different from “knife edge”) with slight differences between each other, all these preparation types may be defined “vertical” as opposed to ” horizontal” (shoulder, chamfer) and since the introduction of metal ceramics they have been almost abandoned with limited exceptions (i.e. periodontally involved abutments). From a biological standpoint, preserving a maximum amount of sound tooth structure, as it is done in these types of preparations, might also offer a more conservative alternative to a horizontal margin design in other clinical conditions such as endodontically treated teeth, vital teeth in young individuals, or teeth affected by caries at the cervical third. Vertical margins on zirconia crowns have been tested in vitro and clinical reports have been published. An evaluation of possible advantages of vertical preparation design in prosthodontics, especially in full digital workflows, will be presented in light of existing literature as well as over 15 years of experience.
Course Objectives:
- Define geometrical and biological characteristics of vertical preparations as compared to horizontal ones.
- Analyze current in vitro literature and available clinical data regarding zirconia and
vertical preparations - Evaluate advantages of feather edge preparations in full digital workflow

GC’s workflow: success simplified from scanning to luting
Speakers: Matteo Basso, Juraj Brozović
Moderator: Prof. Marco Ferrari
Summary:
Contemporary dentistry is driven by simplification, efficiency and minimally invasive clinical outcomes. With digital transformation of impressions, treatment planning and design, digital dentistry is increasingly replacing conventional dental practices.
With demand for short chair time, easy yet precise procedures, high aesthetics and cost effectiveness, GC’s simplified workflows satisfy the needs for state-of-the-art implant and restorative procedures.
This Symposium will guide you to understand the benefits of digital technologies to help practitioners to embrace new technologies going from soft and hard tissue grafting considerations to final luting of high aesthetic prosthetic restorations.
Dr. Matteo Basso – Lecture title: 3 simple steps to make the big leap into digital workflow.
