Clinical Workflow for Success with Digital Dentures by Dr. Brian Goodacre
Participants will learn the benefits and get hands-on experience with a three-appointment workflow to fabricate digital dentures. This will include how to create a custom tray chairside in minutes, how to modify and evaluate a Wagner Try-in and record a centric relation record. Additionally, it is widely known that 3D printed complete dentures are becoming a viable option, but how do they compare to milled dentures? This lecture will compare the physical properties of milled and printed complete dentures to help determine their best applications.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss how to use a three-appointment workflow for digital dentures
- Discuss how to utilize intraoral scanners to streamline your digital denture workflow
- Compare 3D printed and milled denture properties
- Learn to evaluate and modify a digital denture preview online.
- Practice creating a custom tray, evaluating and modifying a Wagner Try-in, and create a Centric Relation Record
