CROWN IN A DAY: DIGITIZED INTRAORAL SCANNING, COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN AND IN-OFFICE MILLING IN RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY January 12 13 2018

Description:

The introduction of intraoral scanners (IOS), and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) has changed the way we perform restorative dentistry. This course introduces digitized scanning technology, computerized design and on-site milling for restoration of single teeth. Lectures will focus on the practical application of digital work flow, including tooth preparation, material selection and components of the system (i.e., scanner, design centre, and milling).

The majority of the course concentrates on participants’ hands-on experience to help dentists integrate CAD/CAM dentistry into their practice. During the first day, participants will scan, design, and mill all-ceramic restorations prepared on dentoforms or cases participants bring to fabricate for their patients. In the morning of the second day, instructors will discuss refining and staining the milled restoration and review cementation procedures with different materials. The afternoon session will conclude in the clinic where participants will have the opportunity to explore a number of scanning technologies from different companies. This will allow participants to see which scanner is best suited for their practices.

Special Note:

We encourage the participants to bring their own cases of inlays, onlays, and single crowns for patients whose teeth are shade A2.  Participants must bring the casts for the case.  This includes the master cast of the tooth preparation, the opposing cast and bite registrations.  Participants will have the opportunity to perform all the requisite procedures to leave the program with a final restoration that can be delivered to patients.
