This hands-on course will focus on all aspects of working with lithium disilicate restorations. Participants will prep teeth using a depth cut based technique to ensure they have adequate reduction for this all-ceramic material.

Participants will use burs optimized for monolithic all-ceramics to adjust and polish these restorations correctly.

Participants will also learn and work with various methods of bonding these restorations in order to understand how and when to de-contaminate a restoration, place a ceramic primer, and select a proper method for luting it to the tooth.

Recommended for…Dentists.

Michael C. DiTolla, DDS, FAGD practices within the largest lab in the U.S., therefore has access to tens of thousands of doctor’s preps and impressions on a monthly basis. As a result, he has an intimate knowledge of the common habits of the dentists getting the best restorative results. As a self-proclaimed “average dentist”, he has found techniques that give him great restorative results with a very average set of hands. His mission is to share these techniques with dentists to help them improve their preps, impressions and restorations. When dentists perform better restorative dentistry they are happier, more profitable, and most importantly, the patient receives excellent restorative dentistry.
