Advances in Digital Dentistry - trend-setting restorative solutions and treatment options for all indications

Synopsis
Dental restorations generated with computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) are making a considerable impact in dentistry. Advantages related to material and manufacturing will promote the continuous adoption of CAD/CAM systems over conventional casting techniques. New system technology and scanners based on conoscopic holography offer valuable advantages. These include excellent precision of fit of restorations both on natural teeth and dental implants, standardized quality guaranteed by industrial fabrication methods, and outstanding biocompatibility, combined with adequate mechanical strength and provisions for aesthetic design. However, new materials and techniques can lead to long-term clinical success only if they are adaptable to clinical standards and needs. In this extensive presentation all important aspects to attain predictable outcomes for today’s patients are discussed. The focus is on a team approach and interaction between the dentist and the dental technician providing step-by-step information for your everyday clinical and laboratory reality.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the lecture the audience should:

Understand the benefits of CAD/CAM technology and impression scanning for increased precision of fit of components
Understand the benefit of a versatile product range including shaded Zirconia for conventional restorations, abutments and implant bridges
Understand the clinical benefits of a CAD/CAM manufactured overdenture solution offering rehabilitation of lost tissue and improved hygiene maintenance
Appreciate the key benefit homogeneous materials offer to support stable tissues and long-term clinical function

Dr. Stefan Holtst studied dentistry at the Medical University of Hanover and obtained his doctorate in 2000 with the title of Dr. med. dent. From 2000 to 2001 he attended a postgraduate program in the Department of Prosthodontics at Louisiana State University.

Dr. Holtst was appointed assistant professor at the Dental Clinic in Prosthodontics, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany in 2001. In 2006, he completed his habilitation thesis and obtained his Dr. med. dent. habil. (PhD equiv) degree from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.

His field of specialization encompasses esthetic dentistry with an emphasis on implantology, perio-prosthetics and complex interdisciplinary treatments. His research work focuses primarily on digital dentistry, all ceramic restorations and material sciences and biomechanics. Since 2006 Dr. Holtst is appointed clinical associate professor and senior lecturer and heads the interdisciplinary histology section at the Dental Clinic, Erlangen University. He has authored several papers on Implant Prosthodontics, Esthetics and various Prosthodontic subjects. Since 2009 he is Associate Editor of the Quintessence International Journal.
