I do appreciate the all zirconia restorations and provide quite a number of them as a treatment option in my clinical theater.  The primary benefit of the all zirconia restoration for me is the conservative crown prep and biomechanical “muscle” material behavior.  In the next year, we will find an abundant of new brands and translucency options being introduced to the market.  We will need to decipher recommended prep style and reduction demands for each brand (strength). 

The prep reduction metrics will be determined by brand and strength.  They are not all the same.  For instance, the ZirCAD LT recommends 0.6 minimal thickness

We are looking forward to sharing our upcoming series called “Leadership in the Clinical Theater”.  Our learning model will be me with Jordan, my German Shepard.  Jordan is one of the best dogs I have every had.  He came to our home fully trained as a protection dog, alpha off the charts. My interactions with Jordan and his responses amplify the quality of my leadership skills.  The principles of leadership that are required for great Jordan performance parallel the needed leadership principles required for success in our relationships in life, even at the office.  Over the next year, we will be releasing at the kliminstitute.com 

Training camp is about refining the basics.  This video is my bread and butter success factor for my posterior CEREC restorations. View Video

We have been working on our updated website platform for the last 6 months.  We are looking forward to adding allot of new content and online CE options.  As we observe the performance of our new platform, I am sure there will be a few areas to tweak.  That is part of our upgrade journey.  We look forward to the future and many new adventures and learning options for you online.   Thank you to Jenny Nolan at the Klim Institute for overseeing and orchestrating the new site.   James Klim DDS, FAGD, AAACD
