Presentations are available to meet every dental professional’s schedule and interests.
Course Description
This lecture provides a practical, easy-to-follow overview of how modern dental restorations can be created using a combination of digital design, 3D printing, and molding techniques. Participants will be guided through the full workflow, from choosing appropriate cases and capturing accurate scans, to designing restorations digitally, fabricating guides with 3D printing, and completing restorations using injection molding. Real clinical cases will be used throughout to illustrate each step, helping attendees connect the process to everyday practice and patient care.
