Dr. Lisa Alvetro and her assistant, Jennifer McWhinney discuss expectations and treatment differences seen when using passive self-ligated appliances compared to ligated bracket systems. This webinar provides insights on treatment considerations when implementing self-ligation into your practice. Following are the main topics covered in this webinar:
• Passive and Active Bracket Systems
• Low Force and Light Wires
• Archwire Considerations
• Archwire Activation
Learning Objectives:
• Understand the differences in treatment mechanics between a passive and active system - how a passive system can be activated.
• Evaluate archwire selection in the Alignment, Leveling, Working, Finishing phases, and considerations for effective and efficient tooth movement.
• Understand arch development in the posterior and the use of Crimpable stops.

3M Chairside Zirconia
3M is introducing 3M Chairside Zirconia, a CAD/CAM zirconia block optimized for the fast-sintering CEREC SpeedFire Furnace. The block offers an optimal blend of high strength and esthetics to go along with a fast sintering time of approximately 20 minutes for a thin-walled crown. For easy shade matching, the material is available in 8 different shades and 2 block sizes designed for crowns and 3-unit bridges to match the VITA classical shades. 3M Chairside Zirconia offers a high fl exural strength option of over 800 MPa, and has a fracture toughness that meets stringent ISO standards—giving it ideal strength for singleunit crowns and 3-unit bridges.
