Today's episode has been brought to you by our friends at Ivoclar!

Alan is joined by dental superstar Dr. David Rice! Dave and Al recently spent some time together at the Chicago midwinter and discuss David's thoughts on dental meetings and where they're going. 

Then they launched into a discussion about zirconia! Did you know that not all zirconia is the same? David has recently written an article for Dental Economics entitled "The Why's and Y's of Zirconia!" and it's the subject of today's episode!

• What's the difference between the strongest zirconia and the prettiest zirconia?
• 3Y-->5Y zirconia
• Ask your lab what they're using!
• Ivoclar's IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime zirconia 
• Preparing teeth for zirconia restorations
• Cementing vs. bonding zirconia restorations
