More dentures are being made through digital processes as dentists try to bring this service in office to lower their lab bill and labs try to speed up their production flows. Also resins and printers have been continually improving so that patients get a better prosthetic. Dr. Russell Schafer has been fabricating digital dentures in his office since 2018 using a variety of 3d printers and resins. Despite this, he still works closely with a CDT for many cases. In this CE webinar, Dr. Schafer will go through how he decides when to make 3d printed denture in house vs when to send it to a lab to design vs when to send it to a conventional denture lab. Also we will discuss efficient methods for taking denture records to minimize the number of appointments needed to deliver well fitting dentures. Finally, we will discuss different types of dentures and methods of manufacturing 3d printed dentures.
It is unfounded that age should play a role in dental implant candidacy. Although medical conditions can affect candidacy the role of proper nutrition is necessary at any age. The detrimental mental effects of missing teeth, medical costs and loss of quality of life during our later years makes implants part of our total health. In this CE webinar we tackle the consequences of missing teeth and how to better relay to our patients that teeth are an organ that provides a vital function with digestion, pronunciation and protecting our supporting organs.
Despite the growing need for full-arch dental treatments, less than 1% of eligible patients receive the care they require each year. The primary obstacle preventing patients from accessing these treatments is the high cost associated with them.

Denture technology has remained relatively unchanged for decades. Thanks to new record-taking techniques, sophisticated digital technology, advanced base and teeth materials, and precision-milling strategies, dentures are undergoing a paradigm shift. They are no longer your grandmother’s denture.
Advanced 3D digital software utilize anatomical landmarks and face overlays to more accurately position teeth in a consistent manner that can result in a reduced number of treatment appointments. Material and manufacturing breakthroughs allow the clinician to expect enhanced digital denture strength and esthetics. Implant-supported dentures and hybrid dentures have benefited the most from this wave innovation.
