Dental technology is becoming more and more digital: the virtual designing and software-aided planning of dental prosthesis has become a key factor in modern dentistry and dental technology. These new technologies have the capacity to result in greater accuracy, speed and efficiencies leading to improvement in patient care.

In his lecture, dental technician and expert in CAD/CAM systems Pascal Kropp, will provide an insight into the latest state-of-the-art Zirkonzahn devices and approaches for a smooth, individual workflow, from digital patient analysis to the final restoration.

Popular culture tells us that we can 3D print anything, so how do you print a zirconia crown, a titanium implant, or an invisible orthodontic aligner from the comfort of your clinic chair? This presentation will discuss the properties of 3D printing materials, their requirements, capabilities, limitations and new technologies which impact future applications in digital dentistry.

3D printing has been utilised in the dental industry for many years now, however, recent research and development has created better quality materials and faster and less expensive printers that produce cost effective, quality results. The latest developments in printing are now challenging already established digital processes, like milling. Do we keep milling Zirconia or do we go next-level and 3D print zirconia crowns? This session will cover where we're at now and where we're heading to in the future.

This presentation will describe the digital denture workflow with a focus on advanced intraoral scanning techniques for removable and implant retained prosthetics.

Topics at a glance include:

• Tips and tricks on how to scan the most challenging cases;
• Fully edentulous digital workflow - where to start;
• Scan protocols for fully edentulous cases including a denture reference scan technique;
• Horizontal scanning protocols and validation technique for full arch implant retained cases; and
• New technologies.

The efficiency and benefits of CAD/CAM technology are fast gaining traction in prosthetic dentistry to produce functional, aesthetically pleasing restorations for our patients. Now, more than ever before, a thorough understanding from both clinicians and technicians is required to achieve the optimal results from this developing digital technology.

Ivoclar's Biofunctional Prosthetic System (BPS) is unique in prosthetic dentistry as it not only provides high quality materials, equipment and technique for the production of functional restorations; but equally caters for the most important aspect of the treatment - clinical records.

Accurate recording of the remaining oral structures and clinically developing a 3D oral template from which all digital and technical decisions will be made, is paramount to successful outcomes.

In this two-part presentation, David will give an overview of the BPS system from an analogue and digital perspective, and the relationship the clinical records have to the digital process.

A must for everyone interested at a nuts and bolts level.

Reliable engineering of simple or complex dental parts from implant screwdrivers to complex implant-retained bars is always a godsend. This lecture will discuss the journey Dr Chris Hart has had from a hobbyist with a scanner and software to the owner of an ISO certified manufacturing facility creating myriad unique dental parts for a variety of applications.

The whirlwind of information about Digital Dentures has left a lot of people flummoxed. In this presentation, we will discuss the workflows, scan, design and manufacturing process using either 3D printing or milling or a combination of both and delve into the pros and cons of each. We will try and unearth the fact from the fiction and have a look at what’s available now and on the horizon relating to methods and materials for Digital Dentures.

In this presentation, the new version of Maestro 3D software will be revealed with some amazing innovative features including digital setups of teeth and aligner design for direct printing of sequential aligners, precision setup of brackets and indirect bonding trays for direct 3D printing will be demonstrated.

Modern 3D printers are easy to use, however a thorough understanding of their correct operation is imperative to avoid expensive pitfalls that can, in some cases, render a machine useless. This talk will discuss correct everyday routines for the use and maintenance of 3D printers to achieve great results every time and to prolong the lifespan of the machine.

Making your own aligners can lead to a very lucrative business. The real bottleneck has been the production of aligner models with some printers taking hours to produce these models. This lecture will reveal a new printer capable of printing models in 5 minutes and introduce the Clear and Straight Aligner System where you can successfully make your own aligners and even deliver in one appointment. Each step of the process will be discussed.

As with all technology, prices eventually tumble and this is no more true than with the intraoral scanner revolution. This lecture will discuss various intraoral scanners, technologies and software and also offer a hands-on demonstration with the new AORALSCAN 3 from Shining 3D.

With technology in the dental industry evolving so rapidly, it's important your business develops and adapts with it or your business could be left behind as so many in other industries that chose to ignore developing technology in their field have. There are now so many CAD/CAM options it important to make the right investment in a complete system developed by an experienced dental CAD/CAM company. This presentation will discuss who Amann Girrbach are as a company, its very successful history in dentistry and CAD/CAM and what it offers to the digital dental world.

Zirconia is now indispensable as a material for highly aesthetic, durable prosthetic restorations. Due to its exceptional fracture toughness, wear resistance and biocompatibility, the high-tech ceramic was used in hip-joint prosthetics. Because of its tooth-like colour, zirconia became increasingly important in dentistry towards the end of the 1990s, where it is often the restoration material of choice thanks to its optical adaptability, stability and range of indications.

However, how zirconia is manufactured and tested is important to the end result. As not all zirconia is the same!

With its broad portfolio of zirconia blanks, Amann Girrbach offers the right material for virtually every permanent indication to enable the fabrication of restorations with long term stability and natural aesthetics both economically and efficiently.

Today, VITA offers a variety of solutions for almost every indication. As a material partner of the Amann Girrbach system, this session will touch on the diverse range and indications applicable for the different range of materials in the market. VITA is the pioneer in the field of dental CAD/CAM materials for practices and laboratories. VITA has been offering top-quality material solutions for a wide range of indications since 1985. In addition to materials for temporary restorations, VITA's product range includes highly aesthetic products for single tooth restorations, materials for framework constructions and fully anatomical bridge restorations, as well as products for implant-supported restorations. Today, users in practices and laboratories benefit from numerous proven solutions and groundbreaking, innovative materials. This session will focus on the different options and when best to use depending on recommended indications.

Why is true automation in a CAD/CAM system so important in today's dental lab? In this presentation Rainer Woeran MDT, from Toothworx in Adelaide, will discuss the changes and the challenges with the integration of the Ceramill Matik and the impacts on his lab with an automated milling machine. This Matik has the most operating hours in Australia today! Does it hold up to its promise? Has it increased productivity? And what went wrong!

The Amann Girrbach Ceramill system offers the broadest range of digital denture production capabilities with integrated workflows and in cooperation with industry leading partners such as Vita with their Vionic solution. Besides the very successful Ceramill FDS workflow for highest aesthetic and quality individual dentures, the Ceramill System also allows its users to efficiently produce digital partials. With the next upcoming software updates, Amann Girrbach will extend the Ceramill full denture system with single arch dentures and 3D printing production of bases.

This session will cover design, patient involvement, case planning, costs and outcomes when using digital dentures. Embracing the digital world of dentures will make life that little bit simpler but dot your I’s and cross your T’s from the outset.

A brief history of implant restorative solutions and how the development of the TRI-matrix implant connection unlocks the ever-increasing precision of dental CAM production. This unique implant connection has been specifically designed for the modern digital manufacturing technologies such as CAD/CAM milling and 3D printing: no longer requiring an abutment between the implant and the crown, including in ASC and multi-unit solutions.
