Hinman Lectureship Series
Savannah, GA •Friday, October 24, 2014 • 8 a.m. - 4:15 p.m.
As health care professionals our pre-eminent desire is to
treat our patients with the most contemporary, yet proven
procedures and materials. Dentists and dental laboratory
technicians have watched as countless of the “latest and
greatest” techniques and materials come to the forefront,
usually amidst a flurry of interest and advertising hype, only
to see the failure of many of these systems. Add to this
fact that there is a constant barrage of new products being
introduced to our profession, there has never been a time
when the information we receive, even in many educational
venues, has been so commercially biased. Considering all
of these factors, one of our greatest challenges becomes
deciding when, or if, we should incorporate new restorative
options into our practices.

Program Agenda
7:30 a.m. Registration and Continental Breakfast
8 a.m. Welcome and Introduction to Course
– Dr. Barry D. Hammond
8:15 a.m. “A Look at New Restorative Materials through the Lens of Proven Principles”
In this presentation we will pursue a completely unbiased approach of evaluating new materials and technologies using current evidence and proven principles as our litmus test of when, where, and if we should introduce them into our practices. We will examine what the contemporary ceramic materials may offer in the way of conservative preparations, esthetics, efficiency, accuracy, and even predictability. We will explore how the various materials and technologies discussed may modify our concepts of treatment planning and ideal preparation design, as well as when traditional restorations are still the best choice.
1 p.m. “Bonded Ceramic Restorations, Minus the Hype”
In this presentation we will discuss the practical, real-world indications for bonded restorations based on the defects that exist in the tooth and the patient’s risk factors. We will examine the preparation details critical for anterior and posterior bonded ceramic restorations. These preparation designs vary with the planned restorative material, the luting resin system that will be utilized, the character of the dental substrate to which they will be bonded, and perhaps, most importantly, a clear vision of risks vs. benefits based on the possible modes of failure of the restoration. We will also review veneer provisionalization techniques and bonding procedures, as well as the various resin cement systems available.
