Presentation Overview
Anterior Aesthetics is an ever evolving landscape of different ways to approach proper treatment planning and workflow. Digital technology has greatly advanced the options for planning capabilities between patients, doctors, and laboratories. Dr. Gillespie will highlight how to maximize these digital tools to enhance treatment planning options to make esthetic restorations as minimally invasive as possible, including the incorporation of phased team treatment planning with orthodontic therapy. Dr. Gillespie will discuss intraoral scanning, digital photography, simulated outcomes, digitally printed models, imaging and software options as well as how to put all these pieces together to make your final outcomes more predictable. Restorative material selection will be covered including when to choose composite resin, lithium disilicate, zirconia, or feldspathic porcelain in esthetic cases.
