Description:
This lecture is designed to help dentists learn how to make a single unit CAD/CAM restoration blend in with adjacent teeth and will focus on the techniques, preparation, material choices and staining methods needed to achieve the best results. Because every case is different, one cannot follow a cookie-cutter formula to achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes. A wide variety of tips and tricks will be discussed for dentists to choose from based on the needs of each case.
