Description

Not only has dentistry evolved from the Stone Age to the Digital Age, it has also evolved from the limitations of single-unit chairside milling systems. This course explores the possibilities of a technology-based in-office system for fabrication of provisional and final crown-and-bridge restorations. From single-unit crowns to full-mouth restorations, the addition of an in-office mill improves quality, efficiency and profitability.

Learning Objectives

Apply digital concepts to expand current clinical capabilities.
Explore the possibility of a technology-based in-office digital crown-and-bridge lab.
Learn about the rationale for different milling systems.
