You are invited to attend an exclusive evening with Savernake Dental, being held in Precision Dental Studio. Bringing together clinical and laboratory perspectives on modern IPS e.max ceramic restorations and cementation protocols.
This session will explore recent developments in ceramic materials, including indications, preparation design, and effective laboratory communication. Evidence-based cementation workflows will be discussed, with a focus on improving efficiency, aesthetics, and long-term success.
Through a combination of lectures and practical demonstration, you will gain useful insights into a validated, step-by-step approach to adhesive cementation, to help support your existing techniques and clinical workflows.
18:00 – 18:30 Registration and refreshments
18:30 – 19:15 Session one: Ceramics in Modern Restorative Dentistry
Ricardo Soares (Ivoclar Digital Master)
Ceramics in Modern Restorative Dentistry, focusing on material selection and indications, principles of preparation design and effective laboratory communication for predictable outcomes
19:15 – 19:30 Comfort break
19:30 – 20:30 Session two: Cementation Protocols for Predictable Outcomes
Danielle Palmer (Clinical Product Consultant, UK & Ireland)
Evidence-based cementation workflows, common errors and how to avoid them, material selection and choosing the correct bonding strategies. During this session, we will discuss restoration cleaning, surface preparation, air abrasion, primer and adhesive application, cementation techniques including correct light curing protocols.
20:30 – 21:00 Q&A
Aim:
To provide participants with a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of modern ceramic materials and validated cementation workflows, integrating clinical and laboratory considerations to support more predictable restorative outcomes.
The session aims to enhance delegates’ understanding of material selection, preparation design, bonding strategies, and laboratory communication, while developing confidence through application of a structured, step-by-step cementation protocol.
