SPEAKER: Dr Ahmad Al-Hassiny
TOPIC: Making the Transition to Digital Dentistry - How, Why and What to Buy!

VENUE: The George Christchurch, 50 Park Terrace, Christchurch

Lecture Synopsis
This lecture will be a complete digital dentistry overview - from scanning to 3D printing and milling. We will go over all the intricacies of digital dentistry and the critical things you should consider when making the leap into scanning and digital workflows. Digital dentistry is no longer a niche or considered a fad. This is where most dental companies are shifting their focus and pouring millions of dollars into research, development, and new materials. Anyone who thinks they will still be practicing dentistry for the next 5 to 10 years or more needs to get out of their comfort zone and invest. Don’t fall behind. It’s the inevitable future of the profession. This brand-agnostic lecture will guide you to take the next steps - whether you haven't invested in a scanner or already have and are thinking about 3D printing/milling.
