15 May 2026
Digital Dentistry Theatre
Learning Content
Are CAD/CAM restorations stronger than natural teeth yet biomechanically inferior? This session explores biomimetic digital dentistry, shifting focus from strength to materials that mimic natural tooth function. Learn how advanced bio-ceramics improve stress distribution, longevity and aesthetics through better integration with tooth structure.
- Participants will gain practical insight into how advanced Bio-ceramic CAD/CAM materials and digital workflows can be used to create restorations that behave more like natural teeth while meeting the increasing functional and aesthetic expectations of today’s dental patients.
Aims
To explore whether CAD/CAM restorations should prioritise strength or biomimicry, focusing on bio-ceramic materials and digital workflows. Delegates will learn how these materials mimic natural tooth behaviour, improve stress distribution, enhance aesthetics and support long-term restoration success.
