Step-by-Step Digital Dentures
Are you confused? Digital Dentures? Are you a dental technician or lab technician who is interested in digital technology to create full-arch removable restorations. Are you frustrated by the high cost of printing in your lab/practice? Have you spoken to 3D printing company sales representatives?
This course will cover the latest technology and systems that you, your lab assistants, or your laboratory need to know about 3D printing. It will also answer any digital questions you may have and address any concerns. This course will cover everything you need to know about 3D printing, intraoral scanning and clinical workflows. We also discuss advanced techniques for creating digital dentures. UNLV School of Dental Medicine provides continuing education credits of up 23 hours.
This course uses learning skills and educational content that’s 10% projection slides and 90% video-based education. Simulated learning is what we emphasize. “LIVE” Videos that demonstrate how to use scanners and printers. Files STL files will be given to you so that you can follow the demonstrations.
This course is divided into five sections to ensure you get the best education.
