CAD/CAM Smart-Sourcing: " The Best Kept Secrets in CAD/ CAM Technology"
Presented By: John Farah DDS, PhD and Robert Wisler CDT
Digital Dentistry is the future. To be viable and succeed as a dentist and a laboratory owner, both of these professionals need to embrace digital dentistry and, more specifically, CAD/CAM Dentistry.
Dr. John Farah will present tips on what makes all-ceramic restorations successful. He will share 25-year recall data of all-ceramic restorations and compare that to PFM restorations. He will provide the most recent information on CAD/CAM technology. Dr. Farah has gathered a wealth of clinical information in over 30 years, both as a clinician and a researcher. Using data derived from research conducted at THE DENTAL ADVISOR Biomaterials Research Center, he will relate the significance and applicability of the research to the daily practice of dentistry.
Robert S. Wisler, CDT, will join Dr. Farah in presenting laboratory perspectives of the various requirements needed to fabricate successful CAD/CAM high-strength zirconia all-ceramic restorations.
