Speaker:  Christian Saurman

In 2013, the orthodontic industry underwent a massive transition from traditional alginate and plaster to 3D printing, fundamentally changing interactions with patients, connection to patient materials, and communication with labs, forever. Now, it's pediatric dentistry's turn! This presentation will cover in-depth the key differences between traditional and digital impressions, and investigate the new avenues to treatment unlocked by digital workflows. Dentists can expect to learn concurrently from process workflow and business strategy perspectives.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand holistically the process of scanning and submitting lab cases, understanding WHY new options are unlocked with digital impressions, not just how.
• Understand benefits of scanning, including improved impressions, fewer appointments, and an ideal patient experience.
• Identify the business strategy considerations of converting to a digital workflow, including real cost-comparisons, staffing considerations, insurance upgrades, digital storage needs, and competitive marketing distinctions.
