Course Overview
Day One
This day will focus on the main principles of CAD/CAM and techniques to ensure you can take an efficient and accurate digital impression.
We will start with the basics of scanning protocol and then move to practicing scanning on take-home printed models. Each participant will be free to use use all CAD/CAM systems to practice scanning including CEREC Omnicam, CEREC Primescan, 3Shape TRIOS3, Planmeca Emerald and Medit i500. This is then followed by practicing Intra-Oral scanning and mastering the techniques required when taking a real live scan.
We will then move onto design and milling phase of the CAD/CAM workflow and explore the fundamentals of creating restorations using CAD software. This will include:
- Exploring the entire CAD protocol and key pointers to ensure well-fitting restorations
- Key tips and tricks to avoid problems with fitting and to ensure tight contacts that fit seamlessly
You will be guided on how to design restorations on each system and proceed to milling the restorations and checking the fit on printed models. Comparison will be made between each of the different CAD/CAM systems.
Day Two
The second day will tackle CAD/CAM materials, glazing and characterisation techniques to create beautiful aesthetic restorations. Understanding what types of CAD materials are available and their indications is a key learning objective.
We will repeat what we have learnt in day one and carry out the entire digital work flow from start to finish. You will scan and design another two restorations (crown, inlay or onlay), start to finish and work through the entire process to mill the restorations out of a materials of your choice.
Hands-On Characterisation and glazing techniques will be covered. You will carry this out on the restorations you have produced and fire the restorations so you can see the results of the stain and glaze. You will also compare how this can affect the fit and learn key tips to ensure high quality restorations.
Lastly we will explore CAD/CAM ownership and key aspects that you will need to be aware of. Costs, maintenance, required consumables, how to set up your book and staff delegation will all be covered
