Keeping Up with Digital Dentures 2023: Latest Update on Technology and Materials
Gene Peterson, CDT
Sponsored by: Sterngold
Concurrent Session
2:15 p.m. – 3:15 p.m. (1 CE hr)
Digital Dentures technology is evolving ever so quickly and understanding the options is crucial for understanding where to be in the digital denture revolution. Get up to speed on the latest software and the and workflows of how to create an accurate complete digital denture design. Materials are improving daily, and you will understand better how to make the best choice for your laboratory. For those who haven’t made the change, bridging the gap between conventional and digital can be straight forward and you will learn how easy it can be.
Making It Happen: A Comprehensive Approach to Digital and Traditional Denture Integration into Your Workflow
Marc Wagenseil, LD
Sponsored by: VITA
General Session
4:15 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. (1.5 CE hrs)
Traditional denture fabrication using carded teeth has been the gold standard for removables and fixed prosthetics. With the introduction of digital denture base and tooth fabrication, milled or printed, the ideal shade, esthetics, morphology, durability, and wear must also meet high standards. Using any processing workflow, the result should be indistinguishable as possible so that your level of service does not suffer. This lecture will touch on the latest denture techniques and materials available from a gold standard company that regardless of denture production, the result meets all functional and patient satisfaction requirements. The ease of integration into your clinic or laboratory services will be discussed along with having a systematic approach that blends nicely across any denture fabrication discipline due to quality control.

Jurisprudence/Legal Management
Mark Mulzet, RD, RDT
Sponsored by: South Hill Denture Clinic
Breakout Session
2:45 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. (1 CE hr)
This session would be an open dialogue and document examples on how to protect yourself in the event a patient would like to sue you and or your practice. How simple documents can avoid this and how they will actually allow the College to act in a manner which seems as though they are protecting the practitioner vs the patient. How to represent yourself if you are actually defending in a legal action and how to end the cycle where some patients feel that all they have to say is I will “sue you” and the will get some or all their money back. Along with other common everyday legal and format style issues that arise in everyday Denturist practices. This lecture is applicable to many disciplines.
