Key Takeaways:

Quick Genesis: Dr. Cory Glenn Graduated in 2008, started in solo practice right away Treated Leukemia but back pain never got better Sold the practice due to health issues Overview of where the digital workflow is and where it’s going Digital isn’t new but it is finally accessible The digital space is not a cost impediment Example: Practice Clear Liner Ortho for under $300 a case with a $5k 3d printer Pros and Cons for 3D Printers Moonray Quality printer Plays nice with more materials Simple printer Formlabs Quality printer Closed approach on what materials they will develop profiles for Recommended Digital Printer: Moonray Not because of accuracy but because of materials Speed of print Multi-functional Scanner used to capture information: Shining 3D DSEX Scanner Scans in 5 minutes PVS vs Digital Scanning PVS is preferred, cost is better, builds experience, is less demanding and easier Digital Scanning makes you a better Dentist Discovery of Scanning Impressions Relatively new 2-3 years ago Digitizing workflow and improving accuracy Never send a physical impression to lab Take a physical impression then scan Send STL file to Lab Pronto (Uber for Dentistry) Lab will send back a digital crown made from file Do not need a printer for this process unless you want to print a model to cross-check Recommend Digital Wax ups on everyone because it’s valuable Hire 1 employee that only makes digital wax ups DSD vs Digital Wax Up DSD offers a higher level of service DSD is more expensive Denture Technology One of the most important things a new Dentist should learn Insurance reimbursement for Dentures is very poor yet the lab bill is the highest Dentures are time consuming Digital dentures do not solve these issues Digital dentures are more expensive, does not cut down on time, does not cut down on appointments Blue Sky Plan helps solve these issues with free software, Lab Pronto, printers & scanners Technology is ready to deploy in dentures. A few options include: Print teeth in white and print base in pink then bond together Monolithic denture MFH is a fav Print base, place teeth, then let lab process
