Digital Dentistry: "Milling so 2014"| With the digital approach digital dentistry is becoming an everyday tool for the dental professional and his team leading to efficiency, a higher treatment quality and providing more tools for quality control. The next step in this process will be 3D printing crown and bridgework. This lecture will show some of the results that have been reached at ACTA where we are doing research in this field. Objectives After attendance participants should be able to: ° understand the use of the full digital workflow in implant dentistry as it is provided at ACTA ° identify the shortcomings of milling dental restorations ° identify the different 3D printing technologies that are used in dentistry ° appreciate the possible applications of printed indirect restorations in dentistry ° understand that digitalization in dentistry will have a major impact on the everyday dental practice |
