Within a really short time span etkon by Straumann has risen to be a front runner in the third party CAD CAM market. The companies success in Germany, the most sophisticated European market, has been startling and its continued growth will no doubt attract many new users. Heavily committed to the quality end of the market but with a real interest in the laboratory support programme. They run a 10 hour a day telephone support for users.
1730 CLOSE OF SESSIONS

The full day programme is structured for everybody with an interest in CAD CAM technology for dentistry. CAD CAM is undoubtedly the most influential impact on the dental market for many years. Those of us involved in its day-to-day use fully understand the profound effect it is having on our thinking and our working lives.

Historically, we have had a heavy dependence on many very old and established skills, such as the lost wax process for casting. Indeed dental technicians can rightly claim to be the world leaders in this skill. However it does seem as if we are now seeing the eventual end of this traditional method of producing metal restorations.

The computer guided technology does seem capable of answering almost any questions about the future manufacture of individualised restorations for our patients. There are of course several hurdles we need to overcome in the marketplace before we fully embrace this wonderfully exciting innovation.
For many the inherent financial investment is daunting as is the prospect of the technology being superceded, just as soon as you have invested your hard earned money!

This CAD CAM day has been introduced to the Congress by Larry Browne, who has spent the past few years involved with these various systems. He has invested, 'perhaps more than he should have done', in finding out which system offers the best balance and service for the present and for the future.

Larry has experience of each of the systems which are presented on this day. He believes that they offer the widest possible choice to the interested laboratory owner. If you want to know which is the system for you then this programme must be a worthwhile use of your time. You will undoubtedly see impressive examples of cases and constructions and be able to ask questions directly to the speakers and the company representatives on the exhibition stands.

This is not just a day of lectures but a real chance to find out what you need to know about this much heralded science. Come with your questions and come with your problems.

This is a real chance to find out all you need to know about CAD CAM technology and its place in your working life.

 

Dental technicians play a huge role in the success of dental implant treatment.

The dental laboratory working with implants must continue to invest in keeping abreast of scientific and technical advances.

Since July, GDC regulation requires all dental technicians to be listed on their statutory register. This means maintaining verifiable CPD.

ADI membership can help the laboratory in many ways. Over 100 labs currently registered have experienced these benefits.

ADI technician membership applies to the whole laboratory - one 'principle' becomes the contact member. Everybody else in the lab is eligible to enjoy all member benefits, whether it's one, five or twenty additional people.

The 2009 Congress technicians' programme has been carefully structured for active laboratories to attend the full day Plenary sessions on Thursday (hear Juergen Mehrhof from Berlin's latest thoughts on the 'dynamics of nature in oral implantology’), raise your questions on CAD CAM technology on Friday and choose from the variety of specialised workshops and masterclasses on Saturday.

Join over 1,000 fellow technicians, clinicians and implant team professionals for three days and gain at least 16 hours CPD.
