By TAUB Products Staff n TAUB Products is excited to con- tinueitslaunchofZERO-GBioImplant Cement here at the 2015 Yankee Den- tal Congress. This past December at the Greater NewYorkDentalMeeting,TAUBProd- ucts showcased ZERO-G Bio Implant Cement, a first of its kind, along with FUSION-Zr Resin Cements. The booth featured Mrs. North Carolina America2014,andtheTAUBProducts sponsored 2014 NASA GTS2 North East Series Champion: #156 BMW M3 Racecar. TAUB Products, along with Ed Mat- thews of Sure Business Logic, hosted three courses presented by Dr. Ross Nash of The Nash Institute: “Direct CompositeResinDentistry,”“Indirect Esthetic and Cosmetic Dentistry” and “Hands-On Direct Composite Veneers Workshop.” You can learn more about upcoming courses in 2015 by visiting The Nash Institute at www.TheNash Institute.com. ZERO-G Bio Implant Cement is a dual-cure implant cement and is rec- ommended for intermediate to long- term cementation of implant-retained restorations. ZERO-G Bio Implant Cement works with all substrates and can also be used for traditional crown and bridge restorations. According to TAUB Products, ZERO-G Bio Implant Cement provides excellent radio-opacity for good vis- ualization after cementation. This helps to facilitate a simple cleanup and allows diagnostic examination upon follow-up. The new implant cement is reten- tive to allow easy removal of excess cement. Its unique color has great contrasttogingivaltissue,enhancing visualization. ZERO-G Bio Implant Cement is available as a kit (item No. 46-1000) that contains two 7.0-gram- filled syringes and 20 auto-mixing tips. exhibitors14 Yankee Dental Congress — January 30, 2015 New at Yankee: ZERO-G Bio-Implant Cement By Michael C. DiTolla, DDS, FAGD n Glidewell Laboratories’ weekly web series “Chairside Live” has given us a great opportunity to commu- nicate with clinicians across the nation and educate them on topics that they’re actually interested in learning. If you haven’t yet had the opportunity, episodes can be viewed on-demand at www.chairsidelive.com or on YouTube and iTunes. In the Case of the Week from Episode 105, I wanted to try some- thing that I really hadn’t done before. I’ve done some anterior BruxZir® res- torations, and they turned out well, but I had yet to do an anterior crown case in conjunction with a BruxZir veneer. This is going to be a straight- forward case on teeth #8 and #9 with aBruxZircrownandaBruxZirveneer adjacent to it. Case presentation This patient had a pre-existing PFM on tooth #8 that was a poor esthetic match (Fig. 1). Because of the patient’s deep overbite, I liked the idea of using a BruxZir crown for tooth #8 because I could keep it almost as thin as that PFM was on the lingual. I also planned to have the lab fabricate a BruxZir no-prep veneer for tooth #9, which happened to be facially defi- cient anyway. I anesthetized the patient and took off the crown. The prep had been endodontically treated, and it looked like a gold post was placed in the incisal edge. We placed the first cord (size 00) and then prepared the gingival third ofthetooth.Becausethetoothalready had a PFM, I didn’t have to do a ton of reduction; it was more about where I did the reduction. While reducing, I exposed a little bit of gold, so I covered it up with a self-adhering composite resin, and then I finished smoothing off the prep (Fig. 2). Then I placed the top cord (size 2), which upon removal left us a wide open sulcus that would be sim- ple to impress. That’s the benefit of using the two-cord technique. Six days later, we took off the tem- porary and tried in the final restora- tions, which the patient approved. We cemented the crown with Ceramir® Crown & Bridge cement (Doxa Dental; Newport Beach, Calif.). The thing I love about Ceramir cement is the fact that it bonds on its own to zirconia without requiring you to decontami- nate the internal surface of the Brux- Zir crown or use a zirconia primer. Plus, the cement will typically clean up in just one piece (Fig. 3). With the crown placed, I then turned to the veneer. After try-in, I decontaminated the internal portion oftheBruxZirveneerbysandblasting it for 15 seconds. I then placed a layer of Z-Prime Plus and air thinned it, and then placed a layer of bonding agent and air thinned it. I isolated the two adjacent teeth with mylar strips and then etched with phosphoric acid, rinsed, placed the bonding agent, air thinned it, placed the veneer with the light-cured resin cement inside and cured it. You can definitely light-cure through solid zirconia. Try it yourself when you receive the case. Here’s the patient with the crown and veneer in place (Fig. 4). It looks pretty good, considering those are BruxZir solid zirconia restora- tions with no ceramic on the facial. BruxZir continues to look better because of the increased translu- cency of the material. I’m now feeling more confident that if I’m placing a crown on a single anterior tooth that I can place a BruxZir veneer on the tooth next to it. As long as #8 and #9 match, we have a chance of having a nice smile. A BruxZir solid zirconia veneer case 5 Fig. 1: View of the patient prior to treatment.
