Speakers (1)

Prof. Amélie Mainjot (BE)

Amélie Mainjot graduated from the University of Liège (Belgium), got a Master of Science in Dental Materials Technology from Paris Descartes University (France) and a PhD degree from the University of Paris 13 and the University of Liège. In 2014, she became a Professor in Dental Biomaterials at the University of Liège.

She is the co-founder and the Head of the Dental Biomaterials Research Unit (d-BRU). Her research interests include ceramics and composites (particularly CAD-CAM materials), and new treatment strategies development (notably for tooth wear). Her clinical activity as Head of Clinic in the department of Fixed Prosthodontics at the University Hospital of Liège is focused on esthetic and minimally-invasive dentistry, as well as multidisciplinary management of complex cases on teeth and implants.

Priv.-Doz. Dr. José Ignacio Zorzin is a senior physician, researcher, and lecturer at the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Periodontology at the University Hospital of Erlangen. His research topics include the adhesive bonding of indirect restorative materials, dental ceramics, and composites. His clinical focus is minimally invasive aesthetic restorations, endodontics, and dental photography.

Dr. Zorzin passed his state examination with distinction in 2009, obtained his doctorate in 2011 on the subject of dental adhesives, and received his venia legendi in 2019 on the subject of "Dental materials in modern dentistry". He publishes regularly in scientific journals and is a speaker at conferences and training courses.

 

 

 

 

PROGRAM

--------------------------

 

 

 

Friday November 8th

18:00 - 22:00 | Informal dinner & networking @ the Arena Hotel

Saturday November 9th

This presentation discusses no-prep Zirconia Resin-Bonded Bridges that eliminate dental tissue preparation using advanced adhesive bonding techniques. The sessions covers recent trends in minimally-invasive dentistry, including soft tissue management, prosthesis emergence profile, and 3D printed guides for restoration positioning.

COFFEE BREAK

The lecture will focus on analyzing the appropriate selection of zirconia types in various clinical scenarios, considering the color, structure of underlying abutments, and position of the prosthetic margin in the gingival sulcus to enhance clinical outcomes.

Overview of key factors affecting the longevity of composite restorations, including the influence of mechanical challenges and caries risk. Some insights from the Radboud Tooth Wear Project, highlighting critical risk factors in treating patients with severe tooth wear, will be shared.

LUNCH BREAK

Choosing between direct and indirect methods for single-tooth restorations can be challenging due to advancements in resin composites. This lecture clarifies the boundaries between direct and indirect approaches by explaining modern resin composites, reviewing technologies, scientific literature, and demonstrating applications with clinical examples.

In this presentation, we will explore the latest advances in adhesive systems, resin composites, and digital innovations that are shaping the future of direct composite restorations. We will highlight how these technological advances enable more predictable and durable restorations, providing clinicians with better outcomes and patients with less invasive treatments. With a focus on practical applications, this talk will demonstrate the potential of these breakthroughs in clinical practice, particularly when using Kuraray’s cutting-edge materials.
