IPS Empress CAD/IPS e.max CAD - Chairside all-ceramics Course

Course Tutors : Leo James

CPD Hours: 8

Introduction

CAD/CAM is one of the fastest growing sectors within the dental profession. Clinicians with ‘in office’ CAD/CAM systems are offering chairside all-ceramics to the patient within one appointment.

This course aims to provide the participants with a systematic and coordinated approach to successfully providing high aesthetic solutions chairside.

Overview

Delivering an overview of the IPS Empress CAD system, this course will explore the features and benefits available from the different block types available throughout the IPS Empress CAD range. Focused around theoretical discussion and demonstration of staining & glazing techniques it will look to explore more advanced cutback and layering techniques possible with the IPS Empress aesthetic layering ceramics.

Intra oral situations are replicated with the IPS Natural Die material and are shown to demonstrate the communication required for successful all-ceramics where the underlying situation is not ideal.

Provided with the IPS e.max CAD overview, participants will be guided through and characterize their own anterior/posterior IPS e.max CAD restorations using a formula which can be adapted to suit the aesthetics required for each case. This advanced material delivers higher strength and highly aesthetic results easily.

Cementation with aesthetic adhesive systems, adhesive systems and self adhesive/conventional cementation is explored given the clinicians’ choice based on having to cement high/low strength all-ceramic.

Aims & Objectives

• Understand the core components of the IPS Empress CAD with particular emphasis on selecting the appropriate block for the given situation
• Understand the different translucencies available, know their benefits and limitations
• Learn effective communication skills given a non ideal situation whether the case is direct or an indirect all-ceramic restorative
• Understand how fine finishing can enhance the life like aesthetics of the chairside all-ceramic
• Learn how to change monochromatic all-ceramic blocks into a more natural aesthetic restoration
• Understand the difference between low strength and high strength all-ceramic chairside options
• Having learnt those differences between low/high strength being able to select the appropriate cementation method
