General Membership Meeting: Digital Removable Prosthodontics: 3D Printed Immediate Denture to Digital All on X

IN-PERSON EVENT – SCCDS strongly recommends wearing a mask at indoor meetings/events.

HYBRID/ONLINE OPTION BELOW – MEMBERS ONLY – Online Event Begins at 7 pm

In recent years, the use of Computer-Aided Design/ Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has allowed the digital fabrication of immediate denture and All on X. Restorations created via CAD/CAM software is highly accurate, due to digitally generated processes. CAD/CAM technology represents a new benchmark for clinicians’ armamentariums.

Patients often request full-arch treatments with shorter treatment times and fewer appointments. Treatment of edentulous patients with immediate protocols is now a proven approach but is dependent on a wide variety of factors.
CT scan and digital scanning to produce 3D computer-generated images places the diagnostic information. Using additive and/or subtractive processes, the solutions are created as an immediate denture, surgical guides, and temporary digital dentures that merge clinically with implants. All on X (Dentca-4®, a fixed implant restoration) will be presented. All on X concept has comprehensive, low invasive, immediate rehabilitation of edentulous jaws. The advances in the digital process allow immediate temporization and full digital restorations that can open new opportunities for clinicians.

The goal of this presentation is to discuss and present digital oral rehabilitation of edentulous patients with superior reliability and performance when compared to traditional fabrication methods.

Learning Outcomes:
• Understand 3D printing denture
• Learn new immediate denture procedures – full digital workflow
• Learn new Dentca-4®, Fixed Implant solution
