Digital Dentistry and Dental Technology conference set for September 20-21

Digital Dentistry and Dental Technology 2019 is an event designed to give you the opportunity to learn exactly what you want to know about the state-of-the-art in digital dentistry.

Digital technology is permeating every level of clinical dentistry and dental laboratory practice. Because the scope is broad and all areas of digital dentistry will not be of interest, the event allows you to build-your-own-programme with a range of concurrent sessions throughout the 2-day program that allow you to pick and choose between lectures and workshops.

Whether you're a dentist, a dental prosthetist or a dental technician, whether your interests are in products like intraoral scanners, bench top scanners, 3D printers, milling machines or solutions for digital dentures, digital orthodontics or digital implantology, this program will give you the opportunity to learn and explore.

Digital Dentistry and Dental Technology is not designed as an event where you spend your entire day sitting on the same seat in a single lecture hall. In each time slot, you'll be offered multiple choices so you can decide what you want to see and do.

At all times during the event, you will be able to choose between:

1. Digital Dentistry Program

This program includes lectures on various subjects of broad interest related to the clinical aspects of digital dentistry. This would typically interest dentists.

2. Dental Technology Program

This program includes lectures on various subjects related to the use of digital technology in dental laboratories and by association, denture clinics. The typical audience for this program is dental technicians and dental prosthetists.

3. Hands-on Program

Based on delegate demand, this year we're introducing a stream dedicated to hands-on sessions.

4. Breakout Room Programs

Lectures and workshops will be available concurrent to the lecture programs for smaller groups on areas of more specific interest across several different breakout rooms.

Panel discussions

One or more panel discussions will be staged during the program and relevant speakers will answer your questions.

A great experience

Digital Dentistry and Dental Technology 2019 is designed to be a fun learning experience that is driven by case presentations from the best speakers from across Australia and New Zealand backed with science and research. The program demonstrates what is possible with Digital Dentistry today. Located adjacent to the Sydney domestic airport, the Novotel Sydney Brighton Beach is an ideal venue for Digital Dentistry and Dental Technology 2019 - easy to fly-in or easy to park. Accommodation is available and full catering provided.

Some of the topics on the program include:

Intraoral scanning: Is it there and do we care?

How does intraoral scanning compare with analogue workflows? Is it fair to compare? Hear from dentists already fully digital and from the labs accepting scans already and learn how to transition into the digital age.

CAD/CAM material options and innovations

Zirconia, glass ceramics, CoCr and titanium are well-known in CAD/CAM but what about resins, polymers, hybrid ceramics, PEEK, carbon fibre, fibreglass and the myriad new materials available today. What works best where and which is the most efficient and cost-effective to use while providing optimal patient outcomes?

Digital Dentures - What is the state-of-the-art?

Various innovative solutions are becoming available for producing dentures in both fully digital and hybrid digital-analogue workflows. What is available now and how well does it work?

DIY aligners - Are you ready to make your own?

Clear aligners are popular with dentists and popular with patients. Now the solution du jour is to make your own aligners in your own practice using intraoral scans and 3D printing.
