When was the last time you opened the old UBD or Gregory’s Street directory and had your family shout out when you were driving to turn left or right to get to your destination? Do you even remember the old street directory? On the contrary, how often do you open Google Maps or use a GPS tracking system when you’re driving to see where you are positioned on a map? All the time? The future for oral surgery ‘GPS-like’ tracking is here. Surgical navigation technology in dental implantology allows the operator to plan implant positions on preoperative CBCT scans and to translate this to the patient precisely. Live tracking of instrument positions, drill widths, depths and surgical implant placement allows the operator to place the implant into the pre-operative planned position.

The current bulky surgical guides, plus sleeves and long burs are being replaced with dynamic 3D navigation surgery. We now watch a computer screen to guide the placement without the presence of a physical guide. Dynamic 3D navigation provides more accuracy, more access to areas of the mouth where surgical guides cannot be used, optimisation of the available alveolar bone, potentially better aesthetics and design, less invasive procedures and more comfort for patient and operator.

Join me in this lecture with my personal 30 years experience with dental implant surgery and 4 years using this novel 3D navigation technology.

In this lecture, Dr Joe will share with you his digital dentistry story from when he introduced a scanner to when he added milling, printing and aligners, covering the choices of what to keep inhouse and what he doesn’t in the modern digital world.

Digital dentistry brings together cutting-edge technology for dentists and life-changing smile improvements for patients. Win-win right?

While dentists’ appetite for dentistry is at an all time high, that doesn’t mean that patients feel the same way about it.

Changes in patient behaviour mean that unfortunately, introducing digital dentistry to your practice is not a case of ‘build it and they will come’.

Fortunately, there is a solution and it’s within reach of dentists ready to embrace the opportunity.

Join Australia’s number one Google-ranked dental marketer, Angus Pryor, to discover:

• The disconnect between dentist and patient views about digital dentistry and how to bridge the gap
• The change in patient behaviour that requires an adjustment in how dentists promote their digital dentistry services
• The 3 most common mistakes that dentists make promoting digital dentistry and how to avoid them

This talk is totally brand-agnostic, unbiased and is based on clinical experience and findings - not to be missed if you are on the market to buy some new tech for your clinic!

Orthodontics has always been an act and react style of treatment in which the clinician continually dials in the individual treatment plan to ensure the patient is being treated in the most efficient and effective way possible.

Traditional clear aligner systems seem to have stepped away from this approach by providing an entire start to finish set of aligners, despite each patient having different responses to the treatment based on their own unique biology, levels of compliance and individual biomechanical side effects.

Delivering clear aligners through a batch based system, in which the patient is only provided a limited set of aligners before needing a fresh intraoral scan, is proving to be a complete game changer in Dr Marc’s clinic with an incredible leap forward in control of treatment outcomes.

Dr Marc will discuss the current literature surrounding clear aligner treatments, the concept and benefits of batch-based clear aligners and provide a detailed clinical and lab walkthrough as to how this system is implemented.

Dr Marc's insight is both academic through extensive training in orthodontics and also practically-based through working in his own busy practice in Perth which produces its own brand of clear aligners using intraoral scanning and 3D printing.

In this session, Dr Milgate will outline the updated workflows available with the iTero scanner and includes a practical discussion of the key benefits of its use. A number of completed cases will be presented showing the range of treatment options and materials available through the digital workflow.

A successful patient-centred treatment outcome begins with accurate planning and precise communications. Dr Tom will take you through a case presentation, explaining in detail every step of the way, utilising the latest 3D chairside technologies. From acquisition of 3D patient records, to printing of wax up models, temporary try-in mock ups and long term highly aesthetic restorations that will WOW the most discerning patient.

One dentist’s journey in the world of digital implant surgery and digital restorative workflow.

In this presentation, Dr So will share with you why she was an early adopter of digital implant planning and guided surgery protocols, how 3Shape and 3D imaging has changed her practice, share with you her clinical cases, and share tips and tricks for clinicians looking to adopt a digital workflow.

Time will be allocated for Q and A discussion.

In 2023, interdisciplinary digital records is fast becoming the standard in dental practice. This session will discuss the "new normal" in comprehensive patient examination, indemnification, education and treatment planning. Dr Milgate will discuss how this can be achieved and what it means for the future.

The FOUR Things Your Business Must Be Doing All Of In 2023 and Beyond to MAXIMISE Your Practice Growth...

Just like a four-legged table, there are four essential things that every dental practice needs to be doing at the same time in order to 10x their Practice Growth…

1. Mastering SMS Practice to Patient messaging

Nearly every business out there at present is SMSing their clients poorly… in fact in most cases the SMSs are so poorly written that they are in fact REPELLING clients away rather than attracting them towards the business.

2. Call recordings

You can’t fix what you can’t see is broken.

f you’re not listening to what’s being said on your practice phone calls, and what your callers are asking, and what your team are saying, you may as well just be burning money in your fireplace…at least it will keep you warm for a short time.

If McDonalds can train 13 year-olds to use their scripts because those scripts work, why can’t dental practices have the same philosophies adhered to?

3. SEO and Adwords

There’s a lot of smoke and mirrors out there when it comes to SEO and Adwords. The fact is that you can’t take clicks to the grocery store to buy food… what you need is CASH, and CASH comes from SALES.. we’ll cut through the BS and let you know exactly what you should be doing and what else you should not be doing.

4. AI and Chat GPT

Despite the rapid advancements in AI, there are some things the human brain and heart still will be needed to do, in order to maximise learning, and education, and results. I’ll tell you exactly what those things are, that the fourth leg of the table needs for stability.

With technology in the dental industry evolving so rapidly its 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. There are now so many CAD/CAM options its important to make the right investment in a complete system developed by an experienced Dental CADCAM company. This presentation will discuss who Amann Girrbach are as a company, the very successful history in dental and CADCAM and what is on offer to the digital dental world.

Zircon oxide 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 zircon oxide 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. Although 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.

More and more clinicians are entering in to the field of digital dentistry. Industry offers constantly new devices and technologies – but can these new gadgets help us to make our daily work in the clinic and the dental laboratory easier and better? Yes! The challenge is to implement a clinical workflow that is connected to the workflow of the dental laboratory. Our research after 14 years of experience has shown that there are many obstacles to achieve a seamless workflow that enables a predictable outcomes. Often the promised applications and devices did not reached the quality standards of traditional analog dentistry. This presentation will give an insight into a model-free workflow in fixed prosthodontics both on teeth and implants covering the clinical but also the laboratory side. The different choice of materials and their limitations will be discussed. Focus will also be on the technology used and the strategy of how to achieve efficient, cost-effective and high quality results.

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.

After visiting IDS in Cologne earlier this year, it’s obvious the biggest thing in dentistry is 3D printing. Whether it be chairside or lab-side, 3D printing is exploding to become one of the most game changing technologies dentistry has ever seen. In this talk, we will investigate all the latest in 3D printing technologies , developments in new resins and new printers and the plethora of applications that are available today to use. Even if you are familiar with 3D printing, there will be something surprising for you in this talk, not to be missed.

Traditional Impressions are so last century! Nowadays, no-one has an excuse not to have an intraoral scanner in their practice. Performance and price has come to a level that it is now affordable for everyone. 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 WIRELESS AORALSCAN 3 from Shining 3D using the latest technology WIRELESS 6.

Choosing any new piece of equipment is often fraught with a minefield of misinformation, advertising hype and just plain BS. In this talk we will cut to the chase and give an unbiased assessment of the different types of 3D printers available, their application in the dental profession, performance issues and how to critically choose the 3D printer you need rather than the printer you think you want.

As a bonus an introduction to AI printing and automation will also be included by special guest speaker Hiro Takahashi.

Australian developed and IDS 2023 global cult sensation, Blenderfordental® is not a stand alone dental design software as such; it is an application add-on for Blender so it can be easily used for dentistry.

From the dry mills for zirconia, wax and polymers to the new wet mill for glass ceramics and titanium, DGSHAPE has it covered. In addition, as no milling system can run without CAM software, the latest advances in Millbox CAM software will be presented.

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.

3D Printing dental models is actually easy, however more complex parts such as crowns, denture bases, splints and surgical guides are more challenging. There is nothing worse than a print failure and there are many factors that can effect this. This presentation will discuss materials and methods of software manipulation and machine settings so you can optimise parts to get successful printing every time. Regardless of the printer you have or are thinking of purchasing, this is a not to be missed presentation. As a bonus, the new methods for direct aligner printing will be covered.

It's time to get out your pitchforks and torches out as we dive head first into a hearty discussion on 3D printed restorations. Are these restorations strong enough for long-term use? Are printed restorations aesthetic enough for anterior use? Is that mill sitting in your practice going to end up as an expensive door stop?

In this topical lecture, Dr Andrew Ip will go through the current status of printable crown and bridge resins and discuss whether they have a place in an already saturated dental restorative materials market (hopefully without breaking too many hearts)!

Training costs money and as we all are in the market for the best products at the lowest prices something has to give and it’s usually training and support that suffers. In this talk, Jeroen will discuss why it's important, especially when purchasing unfamiliar tech, to get correct initial training for you and your staff and why it's important to get ongoing support. Then he will reveal a new and unique way this can be done and delivered to you in the modern digital world.

3D printing is fast offering solutions for creating dentures digitally. This talk will cover the scanning, preparation, designing and printing of a full immediate denture. Various different softwares will be discussed and an introduction to printable denture base materials and new tooth resins will be covered. Selection of the correct printer fit for purpose is paramount for success so the correct features will be investigated as well.

Reliable engineering of simple or complex dental parts from implant screwdrivers to complex implant-retained bars is always a Godsend. Fresh from exhibiting at IDS 2023, Dr Chris Hart This lecture will discuss the journey 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.

This discussion and software demonstration will cover the basics of implant planning software mentioning 3Shape Implant Studio; exoplan from exocad; and Blue Sky Plan software and others. Surgical guide design and drill types will be discussed. It is an ideal primer for those considering using guided surgery for implants. DICOM file importation, nerve tracing, virtual setup and implant positioning will all be covered. Some advanced topics such as protocols for full mouth treatment planning will also be discussed.

Within the 3D dentistry world, data is the most valuable commodity - so protect it as if your life depended on it! This talk will cover computer basics, simple in-house servers, RAID arrays and other ways to manage and back up your data.
