The recent evolution in CAD/CAM and ceramic technologies offers a whole new range of esthetic, less invasive, and long-lasting treatment options. However, there are still many questions: What are the best materials considering the large variety of ceramics available today? What ceramics can be used with chairside CAD/CAM systems? Do different ceramics require specific laboratory and clinical treatment? Is all zirconia the same? What are the best materials on implants? And where is the scientific evidence on all these topics?
This presentation will answer such questions and provide an update on esthetic treatment options with ceramics from conservative laminate veneers to implant-supported full-mouth rehabilitations.

This presentation will answer such questions and provide an update on esthetic treatment options with ceramics from conservative laminate veneers to implant-supported full-mouth rehabilitations.
Learning Objectives:
- Differentiate modern ceramic materials and their indications
- Learn about CAD/CAM technology and its diverse applications in esthetic dentistry
- Understand strategies for success with ceramic restorations for teeth and implants based on the current scientific evidence
- Comprehend guidelines for long-lasting esthetic restorations from laminate veneers to full-mouth implant-supported rehabilitation
