Introduction to CEREC® 3D CAD-CAM Technology

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

With the continued advances in technology, techniques and materials, and the reduction in dental laboratory training programs, the future of dentistry is changing. CAD-CAM dentistry is on the cutting edge of advanced restorative care. This "hands-on workshop" will allow you to "test-drive" Sirona's popular CEREC 3D CAD-CAM technology and New Biogeneric software, so that you can learn if this technology is the right fit for your practice. Clinical application, financial implications, and patient benefits will be discussed in a format that will take you from treatment planning and case selection all the way through preparation, design, milling, adhesive dentistry, cementation materials and techniques. Each participant will have ample opportunity to prep, powder, capture the optical impression, design, and mill multiple restorations on dentoform models. Your questions will be answered from an academic perspective, based on literature review and actual clinical cases completed using the CEREC 3D method.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the course, each participant should be knowledgeable in:

• The evolution of CAD-CAM technology, its clinical application and financial implications
