Webinar Details
In collaboration with The College of General Dentistry.
Join us for an insightful webinar exploring the latest advancements in digital dentistry—focusing on cutting-edge printing technologies that enable the production of highly aesthetic, single-piece (monolithic) dental restorations with lifelike, multi-shade coloration applied directly during the printing process. This session will showcase how these innovations are transforming restorative workflows by eliminating the need for manual material changes or time-consuming post-processing to achieve natural-looking results. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how this streamlined, fully digital approach enhances efficiency, consistency, and patient satisfaction, all while maintaining the highest aesthetic standards.
Aims
The aim of this webinar is to explore the latest development in 3D printing technologies with a focus on direct multi-shade application during printing.
Objectives
During this webinar learners will be able to:
- Describe the principles and capabilities of modern 3D printing systems used for multi-shade monolithic dental restorations.
- Identify the advantages of using a fully digital workflow over traditional fabrication methods in restorative dentistry.
- Understand the materials and techniques involved in direct colour application during the printing process.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this webinar the learner will gain an understanding of:
- The advantages of additive (3D printing) over subtractive (milling) technology when constructing dental devices.
- The most appropriate manufacturing method for dental restorations based on clinical requirements, material properties, aesthetic demands, and workflow considerations.
- How additive processes enable the direct incorporation of multiple shades and materials within a single print, enhancing aesthetic outcomes without the need for multiple manual steps or material swap.
