Analog or Digital? Ivoclar's Denture Options
In recent years, denture education focused on digital workflows, as exciting as they are, today many analog dentures are still being fabricated. This presentation will focus on effective and efficient techniques for both the digital and analog processes. As in the past, also today the communication between clinician and technician is key to ensuring a high-quality denture. We'll discuss preliminary and final impressions to include bite workflows with an emphasis on material and instrumentation such as the Centric Tray, Papillameter, and Denture Gauge. We'll look at tooth selection with the patient in mind, as well as the physical properties of the tooth and base materials.
