Description

CAD/CAM technology has finally made its way to complete dentures, and it has the potential to improve the clinical experience for clinicians, technicians and patients. Digital denture workflows are versatile, with the ability to digitize any step (or maintain any conventional steps). Understanding how and when to incorporate digital steps allows clinicians and laboratory technicians to customize workflows that work for them. This presentation will break down the steps of the digital denture workflow from start to finish. Fundamentals of concepts, materials and procedures will be described to allow you to incorporate digital dentures into your own practice right away.
