Recent courses
In December, I took a course on “Ceramic Science 2010.”  As dentistry moves away from porcelain in many cases, it’s especially important to keep up on the developments in high-strength dental ceramics.  These materials are used more and more as a replacement for porcelain-fused-to-metal in crowns.  Porcelain and ceramics are both used for veneers;  each material has advantages and disadvantages.
The lecturer, from NYU dental school, had a tremendous amount of new information on choosing the best dental ceramic for specific needs, and how to make ceramics perform to their optimum potential.A good course, and information every cosmetic dentist can use every day.
