Like it or lump it, digital dentures are coming in a big way. Even though only 5% of the world’s dentures are currently made digitally, things are changing fast.

If you don’t educate yourself about the emerging technology, the tornado of change will pass you by so quickly you will be left dragging your feet and scratching your head wondering what happened.

This talk will cover the latest trends in milling and 3D printing of dentures, the processes, the materials, the software and the equipment, pros and cons of all that you need to know about where things are right now.

Digital dentures are polarising - come and get the information to make your own mind up with the facts.

This talk will discuss intraoral scanning in general and focus on the new features of the AoralScan3 Wireless Intraoral Scanner from Shining 3D. The new software will be demonstrated with a host of new features including edentulous scanning.

This talk will also attract those interested in the new “bare bones” scanner, the AoralScan L, as it will be unveiled. This amazing scanner comes with a price point that cannot be ignored. If you don’t have a scanner or you need extras, these are for you.

One time, not so long ago it was most common to have a set of models and a few photographs and a skilled set of hands would make amazing prosthetics. A dying art. However, now it is possible to merge intra oral scans, facial scans and DICOM images together accurately and dynamically to create the 3D Virtual patient. This talk will discuss the fundamental equipment needed to do this , the methods available now and some applications of the technology.

If you want to be inspired and amazed come to this talk and hands on demonstration.

In the ever-evolving space that is digital dentures, DGSHAPE by Roland throws back to the familiar, reliable solution we have known and trusted for generations with the DGSHAPE denture kit solution. Using time tested materials and proven processes, this entirely open solution provides the ultimate in known strength and bonding between denture teeth and base; whilst providing the accuracy and reliability of CAD/CAM design and manufacturing processes within the Roland / DGSHAPE ecosystem. If you ever wondered what a Roland / DGSHAPE milling system can really do for you and your workflows then do not miss this opportunity to learn about this and more complex solutions.

DGSHAPE creates some of the best, most-reliable desktop milling solutions available for dentistry. This lecture will cover the entire range and introduce the latest DWX 53 DC. From the dry mills for zirconia, wax and polymers to the new wet mill for glass ceramics and titanium, DGSHAPE has it covered. In addition, as no milling system can run without CAM software, the latest advances in Millbox CAM software will be presented.

exocad is no doubt leading edge CAD software and Vita is synonymous with artificial denture teeth. In this interactive live workshop, Sam will discuss and demonstrate designing digital dentures with exocad and focussing on Vita teeth . All areas of design will be covered from start to finish including answers to common challenges and an open discussion will also be held. Not to be missed for anyone getting into digital design of dentures or those just thinking about it.

Dentaurum’s ceraMotion® range is arguably the premium product range for all-ceramic restorations. This talk will cover the ceraMotion Z zirconia disk range, the ceraMotion One touch, No Limits and Pink stains and specialised glazes. Also, and for the first time, a demonstration of the new ceraMotion CADback software for precise and artistic cutback of ceramic crowns.

If you're doing all-ceramic restorations of any type, do not miss this informative and instructional expose on these ceraMotion products.

Within the 3D dentistry world, data is the most valuable commodity - so protect it as if your life depended on it! This talk will cover computer basics, simple in-house servers, RAID arrays and other ways to manage and back up your data. Even if your computer knowledge is limited, this easy to follow talk will guide you through to a better understanding of what is available and what you can do today to simplify and secure your data workflow.
