Course Description
This course is designed to immerse participants in the revolutionary world of digital dentistry, specifically focusing on the creation of digital dentures using CAD/CAM technology. The course will explore multiple workflows tailored for a variety of clinical scenarios, providing both theoretical knowledge and practical insights.
Key Features of the Course:
- Complete Customization: Learn how digital dentures offer unparalleled customization options. Unlike traditional methods that rely on pre-made, stock denture teeth, digital dentures allow for complete customization of tooth shape, size, and arrangement, ensuring a perfect fit tailored to each patient’s unique preferences and needs.
- Try-In Dentures with Real Functionality: Discover how digital dentures provide a try-in phase where patients can wear, speak, and chew with their dentures before finalizing the design. This process allows for adjustments based on real-world functionality, leading to higher patient satisfaction and a more accurate final product.
- Unmatched Precision: Explore how CAD/CAM technology ensures the most precise fit possible. With materials free of processing errors and shrinkage, these dentures maintain their integrity, resist stains, and avoid absorbing odors, unlike conventional acrylic dentures.
- Efficiency and Convenience: Understand the convenience of digital dentures, where designs and measurements are stored digitally, enabling easy and quick replication if needed. Patients can have a replacement denture milled within 48 hours, avoiding the lengthy and stressful process associated with traditional dentures.
- Diverse Workflows: The course will cover various workflows including the use of traditional analog techniques, intra-oral scanners, and desktop scanners. Both printed and milled manufacturing materials will be discussed, along with their specific indications.
- Overdenture Techniques: Special focus will be given to the indications and workflows for overdentures, providing a comprehensive understanding of their applications and benefits in clinical practice.
Hands-On Experience: Participants will engage in hands-on sessions, applying the knowledge gained to real-life scenarios. By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped to integrate digital denture technology into their practices, enhancing the level of care provided to their patients.
This course is ideal for dental professionals eager to embrace cutting-edge technology and improve their expertise in removable prosthodontics. Join Dr. Dixon in this transformative learning experience and discover how digital dentures can revolutionize your practice.
