Dr. Daniel Butterman will guide webinar attendees through a digital abutment workflow using a CAD/CAM software system, including how to design a crown restoration from a core file. He also will examine the advantages of using zirconia to fabricate the final crown restoration due to the material’s strength, esthetics, and ideal fit to the abutment. Dr. Butterman will then demonstrate how to create a hole in the unsintered crown for screw-retained, pre- and post-sintering polishing, and enhancement with a paste stain. Lastly, he will discuss the process of bonding the zirconia crown to the abutment using a universal self-adhesive resin cement.
After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Examine some of the options and contraindications to consider during abutment selection and learn the steps required to digitally design and submit an implant case
- Learn the process for designing a crown restoration from a core file
- Discuss the benefits of using a zirconia material for crown fabrication and the process of bonding the crown restoration to the abutment
