Everything in One Appointment – The Optimal Solution for Modern Dentistry

Completing dental restorations in a single visit not only enhances treatment efficiency but also provides maximum comfort for patients. By combining advanced technology and high-quality materials, dentists can ensure precise, durable, and highly aesthetic restorations.

Steps in the Single-Visit Restoration Process

1. Consultation: Smile Design

Dentists use smile design software to consult and plan treatments, helping patients visualize the final restoration results in advance.

2. Intraoral Scanning: Advanced Technology

The intraoral scanner captures impressions quickly and accurately without the need for traditional impression materials. Additionally, the OptraGate® latex-free lip and cheek retractor enhances efficiency and comfort during treatment.

3. Effortless Block Selection

Among CAD/CAM glass-ceramics, IPS e.max CAD boasts an outstanding biaxial flexural strength of up to 530 MPa. This is the result of more than 10 years of continuous quality testing.

This material is ideal for efficiently fabricating full-contour restorations, offering excellent esthetics and high flexural strength. IPS e.max CAD has a wide range of indications, allowing dentists to flexibly choose the appropriate cementation method, including adhesive, self-adhesive, or conventional luting techniques.

The IPS e.max Navigation App (SNA) assists dentists in selecting the most suitable shade and translucency, ensuring natural and reliable restoration results.

 

4. Fast and Precise Machining

The CEREC system with MC XL allows for quick and highly precise restoration fabrication, significantly reducing treatment time.

5. Precision Finishing

IPS e.max CAD restorations can be enhanced with IPS e.max Crystall./Shades/Stains and glaze materials or processed using the Programat P310 furnace to achieve optimal aesthetics.

6. Straightforward Conditioning

IPS e.max CAD restorations are conditioned using the self-etching glass-ceramic primer Monobond Etch & Prime®, improving bonding without the need for hydrofluoric acid etching.

7. Appropriate Cementation

Ivoclar provides a well-coordinated cementation system, allowing restorations to be placed using adhesive, self-adhesive, or conventional luting techniques based on clinical needs.

Conclusion

Single-visit restorations not only optimize the dentist’s workflow but also provide a fast, comfortable, and effective treatment experience for patients. With the combination of the CEREC system, IPS e.max CAD materials, and advanced cementation solutions from Ivoclar, modern dentistry is moving closer to perfection in restorative treatments.
