The impact on most laboratories has been profound in both positive and negative ways, depending on whether or not you embrace inevitable change.  How have you positioned your lab to maximize the benefits of this ever evolving multi-dimensional material? We are experiencing a standardized commodity driven market that has essentially leveled the playing field.  CAD/CAM is like a new box of tools beside your set of brushes or handpieces. We still need to use our knowledge and experience to produce the quality and individual character we desire. What differentiates you from your competition?  How do you create your own unique "signature?"  Brian will demonstrate how to build dimension into your Zirconia offerings and offer additional levels of creativity and solutions to your clients. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:  _Pros and cons of various zirconia opacities   _Best practices and procedures for full-contour zirconia restorations  _Simplified porcelain application _How and when to utilize full-contour zirconia  _Advantages of multilayer high-translucent zirconai   REGISTRATION, REFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY:These courses are offered at no cost.
