Free Restorative Webinar with Dr. Taiseer Sulaiman
The Zirconia Protocol: Generations, Bonding & Clinical Success
"Writing 'Please make a Zirconia Crown' on your lab slip is missing information."
Join Dr. Taiseer Sulaiman and Dr. Stephen Phelan for a free clinical webinar teaching you a predictable roadmap for selecting, prepping, and bonding modern Zirconia restorations.
Dr. Sulaiman will cut through the marketing noise to reveal why high-translucency Zirconia crowns have higher failure rates in fatigue testing and how you can prevent this in your practice. Which cleaning protocols actually work, how to modify your prep design for monolithic success, and the specific "Yttria Rule" for material selection will also be discussed.

Not All Zirconias Are The Same
Since the introduction of monolithic zirconia, the market has flooded with "generations"—from high-strength opaque materials to ultra-translucent esthetic options. The challenge is that many clinicians treat them all the same.
Are you treating 5Y zirconia the same way you treat 3Y?
In Dr. Sulaiman's fatigue testing, 75% of 5Y zirconia crowns failed at clinically relevant thicknesses, while 3Y zirconia had zero failures.
If you are using the wrong generation in the posterior, you are increasing the risk of catastrophic fracture without realizing why.
This webinar gives you a clear, evidence-based decision tree for selecting, prepping, and bonding the right zirconia for every case.
During This Free Webinar You Will Learn:
- The "0% vs 75%" Failure Rate: Why high-translucency (5Y) zirconia fails in load-bearing areas and the specific "Yttria Rule" you must follow to prevent fractures.
- The Bonding Myth: Dr. Sulaiman reveals why "bonding does not reinforce Zirconia" significantly and why you cannot rely on resin cement to save a thin prep.
- The "Saliva Rescue" Protocol: Why using phosphoric acid to clean zirconia actually lowers bond strength, and the correct decontamination steps to restore the surface.
- The "Magic Marker" Trick: A simple, chairside trick to guarantee you have perfectly sandblasted 100% of the intaglio surface before bonding.
- Prep Design & Curing: Exact reduction requirements for monolithic success and why you must "Double Your Cure Time" to prevent sensitivity.
- Wear & Antagonists: Why polished zirconia is friendlier to opposing teeth than glazed zirconia, and the finishing protocol to protect enamel.
