3D Printing for Superior Patient Outcomes: From Acquisition to Fabrication

2-Hour Lecture presented by Dr. John Flucke

As we all are aware, dentistry is a constantly evolving profession. While there have been many impressive advances in the last ten years, some of the greatest changes in the past decade have come from evolutions in 3D technology. We live in a 3D world and being able to have valuable clinical data in 3D can allow us to do incredible things. We now have the clinical ability to scan, design, and 3D print in ways that allow, for the first time, truly digital workflows from start to delivery. There are several benefits to implementing 3D workflows and printing into your practice. Efficiency, accuracy, cost savings, and outcomes all improve when a practice moves from analog to digital. In this course, doctors and team members can learn how implementing 3D printing technologies and digital workflows into their practice can decrease stress and allow them to provide incredible clinical outcomes to their patients while spending less time and less money.

During this lecture, you will:

• Learn how to incorporate totally digital restorative workflows into your practice
• Learn ways to ensure the accuracy of provisionals & appliances through digital procedures
• Understand and take advantage of the benefits of digital scanning and 3D printing
