SUMMARY:Zirconia as a Biomaterial for Implant-Supported Long Span and Full-Arch Prostheses
DESCRIPTION:Zirconia as a Biomaterial for Implant-Supported Long Span and Full-Arch Prostheses \nPresened by A/Prof Max Guazzato\nDDS (Milan) PhD DClinDent (Pros) (Syd) \nLecture Synopsis\nZirconia as a Biomaterial for Implant-Supported Long Span and Full-Arch Prostheses \nZirconia was introduced into dentistry in the late 1990s. Since then\, it has become the most widely used material in fixed prostho-\ndontics and a preferred choice for high-end\, long-span and full-arch implant-supported prostheses. \nThe aim of this presentation is to explore three decades of research and development in zirconia and its clinical application in full-\narch restorations. \nTopics will include the material’s history\, properties\, prosthesis design\, advancements in zirconia technology\, surgical and pros-\nthetic protocols\, and future directions. These aspects will be illustrated through personal publications and clinical case studies. \nWhat has made zirconia the dominant material in long span and full-arch implant prostheses? This presentation explores thirty\nyears of evolution (from early research to today’s advanced restorations) covering material properties\, design principles\, surgical\nand prosthetic protocols\, and future directions. These aspects are illustrated through personal clinical cases and publications. \nA/Prof Max Guazzato – Prosthodontist\nDDS (Milan) PhD DClinDent (Pros) (Syd) \nA/Professor Max Guazzato holds a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Milan\, Italy\, where he also\nobtained a Diploma in Dental Technology and completed a residency in Oral Surgery.

His primary research interests lie in the fields of\ndental implants and dental ceramics.\nIn addition to his academic commitments\, A/Prof Guazzato maintains a specialist prosthodontic practice in Pyrmont and Bowral\,\nNew South Wales. He has published 45 peer-reviewed articles in international journals and co-authored three books. He is a Fellow\nof the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons (by examination)\, a Fellow of the International College of Dentists\, and a\nmember of the Academy of Australian and New Zealand Prosthodontists.
