DCEdental: the largest online dental CE directory in the world

This three-day course is designed to introduce participants to the VITA In-Ceram™ system using a hand-slipping technique. The program will provide each student with the necessary tools to fully incorporate the In-Ceram system into their laboratory. Each participant will fabricate a single Spinell anterior, a single Alumina posterior and a three-unit Zirconia posterior bridge that fit precisely and are esthetically pleasing. Step-by-step procedures on how to accurately duplicate master models, block-out die undercuts, and prepare dies for single and bridge frameworks will be demonstrated. Each participant will also learn how to mix the In-Ceram slip material and how to handle it for optimum fit. The sintering, glass infiltration, proper treatment for porcelain application and veneering of In-Ceram with VITAVM™7 porcelain will also be accomplished by each participant.

In addition to the In-Ceram hand-slipping technique, an introduction to a new slip dipping unit called the ELC-One will be demonstrated. Used to automate the slipping process, this unique CAM technology increases productivity, ensures consistent slipping quality, and helps save labor costs. The ELC-One produces copings and bridges using In-Ceram Alumina and Zirconia materials.

At the end of this course, each student will have a working knowledge of VITA In-Ceram materials and will be able to fabricate all case indications for In-Ceram.
