2024 IDT Live

For many decades, very little changed with the way we make dentures. Over the last ten years, we have finally started to see technology transform the status quo. As workflows evolve to incorporate digital dentistry, clinicians can benefit from interweaving components of both conventional and digital denture workflows. 3D printing allows for workflows that have never been possible. This course will walk through incorporating 3D printing into various digital denture workflows. Systematic clinical guidelines will be presented that make chairside steps easier, and results more predictable for both the clinician and the laboratory team. The program will also demonstrate the evolution of digital denture materials and fabrication methods to provide higher strength, better fit, a permanent archive of the denture, happier patients and happier staff!

As technology and surgical protocols advance, full-arch implant solutions are becoming increasingly common. Planning and executing full-arch fixed implant solutions can be a confusing and complicated endeavor. This course aims to address some of the most commonly encountered questions and complications with these “All-on-X” restorations. It will include restoratively driven treatment planning, digital planning for surgical guides, digital restorative solutions, a materials review, and how to utilize multi-unit abutments. This course includes digital planning and surgical guides, and can be modified to highlight removable implant overdentures, fixed full arch, or both.

Join Kris Schermerhorn, CDT, to learn more about the Trusana Premium Denture System and the future of 3D printed digital dentures using the revolutionary TrujetX3 printer. He will first cover the Trusana materials, which include premium tooth resin, high-impact denture base resin, and a one-step bonding adhesive. You will learn about Trusana’s patented chemistry that results in lifelike translucency as well as its fracture toughness, wear resistance, and unique ability to maintain its flexural strength and modulus in the presence of water. Kris will educate you on the optimal workflow to streamline production using Asiga equipment to produce a stronger, more beautiful denture. Kris will end the session with a brief introduction to the TrujetX3, Myerson’s latest innovation that produces a one-piece, high-impact premium Trusana denture.
