“In The Know” on Dental Technology: Exploring new technologies for clinical excellence and increased profitability
As we have witnessed, technology is infiltrating dentistry at an astounding pace. As practitioners, we have decisions to make. Are we going to incorporate technology, or let the profession pass us by? Throughout this presentation, you will see how certain technological advancements have furthered the scope of practice for each of the clinicians. The two “Dentists IN the Know” will discuss intraoral scanning, cone beam technology, lasers and 3-D Printing. This informational lecture will be followed by an interactive panel discussion with the audience.
Following this presentation, the attendee should:
- Develop an understanding of CBCT principles
and interpretation. - Visualize how CBCT can facilitate identification
of sleep/airway disorders and TMJ concerns. - Learn how lasers can add profitability to clinical
practice through time-savings and improved
outcomes. - Understand why 3-D Printing is becoming such
an important aspect of private practice.
