CAD/CAM Digital & Oral Facial Aesthetics 37th Int’l Dental ConfEx

Abstract

This lecture focuses on the field of chair-side  3D printing in dentistry, specifically addressing its applications in producing inlays, onlays, crowns, and veneers. Exploring the precision, customization, and efficiency that these technologies bring to restorative dentistry as a final restorations. The lecture points out their role in reshaping traditional approaches in dental practice. 

Learning Objectives

• Understand the principles and advantages of 3D printing technology in the context of minimally invasive dental procedures.
• Identify the different types of dental restorations that can be fabricated using 3D printing techniques and their applications in dentistry.
• Evaluate the role of CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software in the digital workflow for creating precise and patient-specific dental restorations.
• Analyze the impact of 3D printing on traditional dental laboratory processes, including material selection, fabrication time, and cost-effectiveness.
• Demonstrate proficiency in designing and fabricating minimally invasive dental restorations using 3D printing technology through hands-on exercises or case studies.
