CHAIRSIDE MILLING IN 2026: WORKFLOW, MATERIALS & PROTOCOLS

CHAIRSIDE MILLING IN 2026: WORKFLOW, MATERIALS & PROTOCOLS

$990.00Price
This two-day course is designed to guide clinicians through the complete chairside milling workflow, from foundational concepts to advanced clinical execution.
 
Using the Ossvis Lilivis MILL as the featured platform, participants will explore how same-day dentistry can be integrated into modern private practice through proper case selection, preparation design, scanning, CAD design, milling, finishing, and delivery.
 
The course will also provide a practical review of today’s chairside-millable materials, including lithium disilicate, hybrid ceramics, zirconia, and PMMA/provisional materials, with emphasis on material selection, milling protocols, surface conditioning, bonding, cementation, and esthetic finishing. Building from restorative fundamentals into cosmetic applications, this program will also cover veneers, anterior restorations, smile design, esthetic provisionals, and how the Lilivis MILL can support predictable, efficient, and high-quality restorative and cosmetic workflows.

  • Course Overview

    Course 1 - August 8 (SAT)
    Chairside milling has become one of the most practical ways for modern dental practices to deliver efficient, high-quality restorative care. This introductory course explores the current state of chairside milling in 2026 and how dentists can integrate same-day dentistry into daily practice.


    Using the Ossvis Lilivis MILL as the featured chairside platform, this course walks participants through the full digital workflow: case selection, preparation design, scanning, CAD design, milling, finishing, and delivery. Participants will also receive a practical overview of the major chairside materials that can be used in a modern milling workflow, including lithium disilicate, hybrid ceramics, zirconia, and PMMA/provisional materials.


    This course is designed to help clinicians understand what chairside milling can do, where it fits clinically, and how to begin implementing it predictably.

     

    By the end of this course, participants should be able to:

    1. Explain the role of chairside milling in modern restorative dentistry
    2. Identify clinical cases that are appropriate for chairside milling
    3. Describe the basic scan-design-mill-seat workflow
    4. Understand the core capabilities and workflow benefits of the Lilivis MILL
    5. Compare major chairside material categories at an introductory level
    6. Recognize how preparation design, margin quality, scan accuracy, and material selection affect clinical success
    7. Develop a practical starting strategy for integrating chairside milling into a dental practice.

     

    Course 2 - August 9 (SUN)

    This advanced course builds on the fundamentals of chairside milling and focuses on clinical execution. Participants will take a deeper dive into chairside-millable materials used with the Lilivis workflow, including lithium disilicate, hybrid ceramics, zirconia, and PMMA/provisional materials.

    The first half of the course focuses on material-specific protocols: how to mill each material, how to adjust it, how to polish or characterize it, how to condition the internal surface, and how to bond or cement it predictably.

    The second half of the course shifts into cosmetic dentistry, with a focus on veneers, anterior restorations, smile design, esthetic provisionals, and how the Lilivis MILL can support modern cosmetic workflows in private practice.

    By the end of this course, participants should be able to:

    1. Select the appropriate chairside material based on indication, esthetic demand, strength needs, and bonding requirements
    2. Describe how milling, finishing, and polishing protocols differ between lithium disilicate, hybrid ceramics, zirconia, and PMMA
    3. Apply correct surface conditioning protocols for each major material category
    4. Determine when to bond, when to cement, and which cementation strategy is appropriate
    5. Identify common causes of material failure, debonding, chipping, and poor fit
    6. Understand how chairside milling can be used for veneers and cosmetic restorative dentistry
    7. Plan cosmetic cases using digital design, provisionals, mockups, and final milled restorations
