All You Need to Know About Digital Dentures

Pam Rehm, RDT,  Technical Sales Specialist, Removeables at Argen Corporation

Want to make the switch to digital dentures? Not sure if its "there yet"? Or not sure how to integrate into your current workflows?

In this lecture we will cover all of these questions and more! Pam will provide a practical look at how CAD/CAM technologies can be used to drastically improve efficiency your clinic or lab without losing the high quality achieved by analog workflows. Traditional Denture fabrication consists of 5-7 patient appointments, with the use of digital workflows we can reduce that to 3-5. Implementing digital workflows can reduce patient chair time and improve lab productivity while still producing a high quality denture!! We will look at digital workflows step-by-step for removable prosthetics for denture clinics and stand-alone labs.

Communication is KEY: Looking into the Ethical and Educational Implications of Relaying Complex Treatment Plans to Clients and Patients

John Wilson,  Owner of Sunrise Dental Laboratory

Minh Tran, RDT,  Founder and Creative Director of DentalTechTips

Join John Wilson and Minh Tran as they delve into the world of interdisciplinary dental technology and explore how effective communication can improve the quality of care for patients.

As dental technology continues to advance, interdisciplinary treatment planning has become increasingly complex. It involves collaboration between different dental specialties and requires effective communication to ensure that patients fully understand their treatment options. We will examine the ethical implications of this communication and the importance of patient education and informed consent, to ensure that patients fully understand the benefits and risks of different treatment options. Increasing case acceptance via multiple methods of communication is critical.

We will begin by exploring the various aspects of interdisciplinary dental technology, including crown and bridge, dentures, orthodontics, and implants. We will discuss the latest advancements in digital dentistry and the benefits they bring to patients.

We will then examine the role of effective communication in interdisciplinary treatment planning, including how to relay complex treatment plans to clients and patients. We will explore the importance of patient education, informed consent, and the potential ethical concerns that may arise.

Putting it All Together: Assembling Complex Full Mouth Implant Reconstructions Seamlessly

John Wilson,  Owner of Sunrise Dental Laboratory

Building a strong foundation for dental restoration is crucial for complex full mouth implant reconstructions. The implant serves as the foundation for restorative options, and precise planning is key for optimal outcomes. Multiple implant-supported restorations may be necessary for full mouth reconstruction, which, with the aid if digital technology, can seamlessly snap together at the end of the assembly process. Components may include a stackable bar, supra structure, or tertiary structure.

These structures require careful consideration of the patient's unique needs. The assembly process is similar to snapping together a Lego creation, with each piece fitting together perfectly to create a stable and functional final result. Come and learn about how to implement these types of restorations, the benefits and drawbacks, as well as some clinical and technical pearls.
