Dr. Josef Kunkela, CZ – CEREC Ultmate Inlay/Onlay and Deep Margin Elevation Technique CEREC Endocrowns & Smile Design worklflow Virtual Articulation
(HAAD 4.5 CME | ADA CERP 4.5 CE)
Doctor Kunkela is an innovative Czech dentist with extensive experience in prosthodontics, restorative dentistry, preventative care and dental marketing. He currently presents his research in Czech Republic, USA, Germany, France, Ireland, Malta, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia. He also organizes practical courses in prosthodontics and CAD/CAM dentistry in the Czech Republic. His studies are published in the dentistry journals Quintessence, International CAD/CAM Magazín, Dental Tribune and DentalCare Magazine.

Parallel to the Desert Safari, participants who attend the Panel Show presentation ‘CEREC Meets Smile Design’ have the possibility to take part in the practical part provided in the afternoon which will include hands on demonstrations given by Dr. Josef Kunkela, CZ. The hands on course will allow a practical demonstration of smile design process and virtual articulation. Dr. Josef will focus on the used-protocol and applied materials such as preparation techniques and differences between preparing a vital versus endodontically treated tooth for CEREC only, as well as a comparison of scanning techniques used by Bluecam, Omnicam and Apollo DI scanners. Different milling process techniques and grinding will be shown and the effect of software parameter changes on final results. Often, the localized subgingival margin that can complicate the use of indirect adhesive restorations (isolation, scanning, etc) subsequently hinders restoration durability and relationship with the periodontal tissues. Thus the presenter will discuss in detail the Deep Margin Elevation technique. Further focus will be given to options of anchoring, material choices, postendontic treatment – endocrowns, errors and conclusion and supporting case reports. The hands on course will finish with practical demonstrations of smile design and virtual articulation.
