This seminar will highlight the following parameters:
• Differentiation: Comparative analysis;
• PolyCeram Prosthodontics: Alloyless - Fiberless, Characterization, Processing and Stratification
• Implant Superstructures:

The lecture will emphasize the following issues:
• The physiology of occlusion; composite, ceramic, alloy & polycrystalline nanoceram
• Tooth preparation methodology; effects and side effects
• Auxiliary materials; contraindications and long-term effects
• Color and gloss, value; opacity/translucency and stratification gradients
• Polishing materials and techniques
• Functional - Aesthetics; materials properties
• The success of Implant interfacial osseointegration – transitional vs. immediate loading period and the superstructure macrorigidity vs. microelasticity
• Biocompatibility & Cytotoxicity - cellular reactivity, tissue irritation, inflammation and manifestation.
