SUMMARY:3D Printed Night Guard Workflow Simplified: Scan\, Design\, Print\, Finish\, and Deliver In-House - Presented by Zylo3D
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 23rd \n12pm – 1pm \nOnline via Zoom \nFREE for SCCDS Members and Guests \n1 CE Unit \nThis course introduces a practical\, office-based workflow for fabricating 3D printed night guards using modern digital dentistry tools. The presentation walks participants through the full process from patient scanning to appliance design\, slicing\, printing\, washing\, curing\, post-processing\, clinical try-in\, occlusal adjustment\, and delivery. \nThe course emphasizes how 3D printing can simplify night guard production by reducing lab dependency\, shortening turnaround time\, improving control over fit and quality\, and allowing same-day or next-day delivery when appropriate. Participants will learn how an integrated digital workflow can improve efficiency for the dental team while enhancing the patient experience. \nKey workflow topics include intraoral scanning\, bite opening with a leaf gauge\, capturing upper and lower arches plus an open-bite registration\, creating adequate clearance for appliance thickness\, using design services or rapid digital design tools\, preparing STL files in slicing software\, selecting compatible printers and resins\, orienting the appliance\, generating supports\, printing\, washing with isopropyl alcohol\, curing\, removing supports\, polishing or finishing\, and performing a quick clinical try-in. \nThe presentation also reviews the role of all-in-one 3D printing systems such as Zylo3D\, design service options\, rapid design tools such as Clinux\, resin considerations including splint/night guard materials\, and practical implementation tips for dental offices beginning in-house appliance production. \n \nBy the end of the session\, participants should understand the major clinical and operational steps required to implement a predictable 3D printed night guard workflow and recognize how digital production can reduce turnaround time\, increase quality control\, reduce costs\, and improve practice efficiency. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this course\, participants should be able to: \n1. Describe the clinical and operational advantages of producing night guards with an in-office 3D printing workflow.\n2. Identify the main steps in a digital night guard workflow\, including scanning\, design\, slicing\, printing\, washing\, curing\, finishing\, and delivery.\n3. Explain how proper intraoral scanning and bite registration affect the fit\, durability\, and clinical success of a printed night guard.\n4. Understand how a leaf gauge can be used to open the bite and create approximately 3 mm of clearance for night guard design.\n5. Compare traditional lab-fabricated appliance workflows with in-house digital fabrication in terms of turnaround time\, cost\, quality control\, and patient experience.\n6. Discuss the role of design services and rapid digital design tools in preparing night guard files for 3D printing.\n7. Recognize basic slicing considerations\, including STL import\, printer/resin selection\, model orientation\, and support generation.\n8. Review post-processing steps including washing\, curing\, support removal\, polishing\, and finishing options.\n9. Describe clinical try-in steps for evaluating fit\, comfort\, retention\, and occlusion before appliance delivery.\n10. Identify practical implementation considerations for training team members and integrating 3D printed appliances into a dental office. \nSpeaker Information\n\nDr. Jahanzabe “Jay” Siddiqui is a practicing dentist and owner of Radiant Dental Care in Chevy Chase\, Maryland. His clinical focus includes digital dentistry\, restorative dentistry\, cosmetic dentistry\, implant dentistry\, same-day dentistry\, and technology-driven patient care. \nDr. Siddiqui uses a fully digital workflow in daily practice\, including intraoral scanning\, CBCT imaging\, 3D printing\, in-office milling\, digital treatment planning\, and same-day restorative procedures. His practice emphasizes precision\, efficiency\, patient education\, and using technology to improve both clinical outcomes and the patient experience. \nIn this course\, Dr. Siddiqui shares a practical approach to implementing 3D printed night guards in a dental office\, with emphasis on simplified workflows\, team delegation\, scanning accuracy\, appliance design\, post-processing\, clinical fit\, and predictable delivery.

SUMMARY:General Membership Meeting: Minimally Invasive Rehabilitation - A Healthier\, Less Costly and More Predictable Approach
DESCRIPTION:Every practice has 5% to 15% of patients who have severely damaged their dentition and would benefit from a mouth rehabilitation but cannot afford it\, and we see them suffer and deteriorate feeling helpless. Additionally\, a larger number of our patients would greatly benefit by opening their Vertical Dimension of Occlusion (VDO) to restore their worn-out dentition. They need help! The old approach of a mouth full of crowns is destructive\, with many negative side effects and unpredictable. In this practical lecture Dr. Ruiz will offer a more real world approach to treating these patients using direct composite\, partial coverage adhesive restorations and limited implants. Even partial mouth rehabilitation cases are like remodeling a beautiful building\, meticulous designed and diagnosis must be done before the first scoop of dirt is ever removed\, (or before a hand piece touches the tooth). This fast paced course will cover proper diagnosis to avoid problems\, step by step techniques for partial and full mouth rehabilitation\, as well as research and many clinical cases. \nObjectives: \n• Learn a practical technique to treat larges cases in multiple stages\, making it affordable to almost every patient. \n• Proper methodic diagnosis for this type cases\, which will maximize success\, satisfaction and minimize complications. \n• Learning techniques for proper adhesion of bonded rehabilitations. \n• Understand how to record patients’ unique esthetic perspective and goals and how to blend it with our own. \n• How to implement occlusal treatment into an overall oral treatment. \n• When to use a semi-adjustable articulator and why it has great importance. \n• When to use a CR bite. \n• Step by step techniques\, and much\, much more… \nBiography: \nDr. Ruiz is Founder of the “Supra-gingival Minimally Invasive Dentistry” movement\, as well as founder and director of the Los Angeles Institute of Clinical Dentistry. Former Course Director of numerous CE Courses at the University of Southern California (USC). He is an Honorary Clinical Professor at Warwick University in England and a member of the editorial board for Dentistry Today.
