Dental laboratories are essential partners that provide valuable input and expert advice to dentists. This seminar will demonstrate the great value of collaborating closely with your laboratory, not only on a case-by-case basis but also as an ongoing educational and treatment planning resource. Discover how leveraging this expertise can enhance your practice and ensure the best outcomes for your patients.
You might be surprised to discover just how many topics are best explained by your lab technicians. This seminar invites you to dive into the most critical subjects that will not only enrich your clinical expertise but also enhance your collaboration with your lab. Here’s a preview of the five key topics we’ll cover:
Objectives
1- Prep Design and Case Results: We'll explain the correlation between your prep design and our ceramic work, and how a poor prep design can negatively impact the final ceramic outcome. We’ll discuss how we can collaborate to better meet your patient’s expectations.
2- Material Translucency and Selection: Understanding restorative materials can greatly enhance your judgment in material selection: when to choose e.max, when to opt for zirconia, and the various options available within each category. We'll also cover where we stand in this fast-paced world of material development.
3- Shade Taking: Learning the correct method for shade taking can significantly increase the success rate of your cases, especially with single central restorations.
4- Dental Photography: Dental photography, particularly the techniques lab techs use, is crucial. With much of smile design now reliant on software, we’ll guide you with the exact photography specifications we need for a successful outcome.
5- Tooth Shape and Arrangement: Understanding the science behind tooth shape and arrangement can enhance your ability to participate effectively in designing your cases.
This seminar is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to optimize your practice and strengthen your partnership with your dental lab.
