Description
Course Description:
Chairside 3D printing is transforming the way dental practices deliver care, allowing clinicians to design, fabricate, and fit a range of restorations and appliances within a single appointment. This course dives into the practical, clinical, and technological foundations of integrating 3D printing directly into the operatory, empowering dental professionals to streamline workflows, reduce turnaround times, and enhance patient satisfaction.
Participants will explore the full chairside workflow from digital scanning and design to material selection, printing, post-processing, and final placement. The course unpacks real-world applications such as temporaries, splints, surgical guides, whitening trays, and even definitive restorations depending on the system. Attendees will also gain insights into quality control, common pitfalls, equipment maintenance, and best-practice protocols.
By the end of this course, dental professionals will be equipped to confidently implement chairside 3D printing, reduce reliance on external labs, optimize efficiency, and elevate the overall patient experience.
