The esthetic demands of restorative dentistry are increasing, as patients seek to obtain natural-looking replacement teeth. Incorporation of CAD technology into the dental lab provides many benefits to the laboratory technician, and assists dentists and patients looking for excellent esthetic results.
To help laboratory technicians create beautiful restorations, Straumann conducts beginner and intermediate training sessions using the es1 scanner. Session overviews, dates, and locations for the remainder of 2009 are below. For more details or to register for courses, please contact education.us@straumann.com
