Protocols for Achieving Predictable Esthetic ProceraŽ Restorations

Abstract
This course highlighted the excellent esthetic results routinely achieved using the CAD/CAM ProceraŽ System. Procera restorations fulfill the criteria of function and esthetics, are expedient for the operator, and boast ubiquitous academic references for long-term survival. For those who were skeptical about all-ceramic restorations, this course focused on the advantages of the Procera System, and furnish the clinician and ceramist with protocols for achieving routinely predictable results. Emphasis was placed on practical approaches based on a sound academic platform to avoid pitfalls that cause patient disappointment and clinical embarrassment.

The course concluded with patient presentations showing the versatility of the Procera System in a variety of clinical scenarios.
