CAD/CAM Materials Today: From Science to Patient
Featuring: Dr. Miguel Ortiz

There are tens of CAD/CAM materials in the market today and every manufacturer states that their material is the best. Can they all be the best? I don’t think so. This is why Dr. Miguel A. Ortiz has dived into all the science published to date in order to answer this question. Which is the best material for each clinical presentation? What he found will surprise you. You only need to use four different CAD/CAM materials in order to cover all your needs. This is not because of his opinion but because the DentLit is loud and clear.

Science cannot be ignored and not all materials are made the same. It is time to truly understand each CAD/CAM material present in the market today in order to offer the patient the best treatment available. This presentation will demonstrate the scientific basis for material selection. You will finally be able to decide which 4 CAD/CAM materials are scientifically proven to be superior. You will know their indication for treatment as well as the parameters that make them the best. Science, not opinion.
