“Comprehensive CAD/CAM Business Strategies with Sirona and inLab”

Strat Fotos, BA, CDT

Saturday, August 7                      2:30-4:00 PM

The lecture will address several challenges dental labs face in today’s increasingly competitive environment with the inLab system by Sirona. We will survey the processes involved in the fabrication of full contour crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers and specifically pure zirconium copings/frameworks. The process includes capturing three dimensional data, either by optical or laser scan; acquiring the preparation into a virtual model; restoration design and the many tools at your disposal to maintain integrity and control; the milling process; working the restoration once milled; and how to move the restoration into final production via stain/glaze, infiltration/crystallization or sintering. Several tips and tricks will be discussed to minimize material waste, increase productivity, and maximize utilization in your laboratory. The seminar will also highlight the variety of materials and numerous indications currently available with inLab.
