Digital Dentures in the Real World: Clinical Workflows and Intraoral Scanning for Edentulous Patients
Speaker: Mr Terry Whitty
Audience: Dental Prosthetist, Dental Technician, General Dentist, Prosthodontist
Digital dentures have matured from an experimental workflow into predictable, everyday clinical reality—provided the right data is captured. This presentation outlines a modern, evidence-based clinical workflow with an emphasis on intraoral scanning of edentulous ridges, border control without a tray, capturing functional detail, and reliable digital jaw relations. Delegates will learn how to manage mobile tissues, understand scanner limitations, and avoid the errors that cause misfits and remakes. Real step-by-step protocols and clinical cases provide a practical roadmap for clinicians wanting consistency and improved patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the clinical requirements for accurate digital denture records.
- Learn effective strategies for intraoral scanning of fully edentulous arches.
- Identify failure points in digital impressions and how to prevent them.
- Integrate jaw relation techniques into a streamlined digital workflow.
Audience Suitability
- Dental Prosthetists: High relevance
- Dentists / Clinicians: High relevance
- Dental Assistants: Moderate relevance, especially those supporting scanning
- Dental Technicians: Useful for understanding clinical data quality

Desktop Metal Printing in Dentistry
Speaker: Mr Terry Whitty
Audience: Dental Prosthetist, Dental Technician
For more than a century, dental metal frameworks have been produced using casting. While reliable, casting is labour-intensive, technique-sensitive, and prone to distortion. Desktop metal printing is now here—and it is now a practical reality for dentistry.
Compact laser metal printing systems are bringing true digital metal manufacturing into the dental laboratory. What was once limited to large industrial machines can now be performed with small systems designed specifically for dental production.
This presentation explains the complete workflow—from digital design and laser metal fusion through to heat treatment, finishing, and plasma polishing. Applications include removable partial denture frameworks, orthodontic appliances, implant bars, and crown and bridge metal structures.
For the first time, the full dental workflow and practical applications of desktop metal printing will be presented in clear clinical and laboratory detail.
This shift represents the emergence of a new manufacturing discipline in dentistry.
Participants will learn to:
- Understand the principles of desktop metal printing.
- Identify the workflow from design through to plasma-polished frameworks.
- Recognise applications including RPD frameworks, orthodontic appliances, implant bars, and crown & bridge.
- Understand how digital metal manufacturing improves accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency.
