Workflow A: Virtual Wax-up Design for Tooth Supported Restorations.
Design – Visualization – Production – Predictability
Course Description
Every wax-up builds the foundation of a new case design to establish a new functional and esthetic end goal for the patient and for us as clinicians. Many traditional techniques got described in the literature over the years. However, digital technology provides us with a number of tools to virtually mimic a variety of new esthetic set ups faster and more efficient. The development of improved designing software and the implementation of new production technologies, like 3D printing open up ways to establish improved digital workflows and wax up techniques.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the details of predictable workflows on how to virtually 3D design wax ups for a variety of indications for tooth supported restorations.
- Understand techniques on how to implement newly generated files into the workflow for final restorations or as a predictable communication tool between dental offices and laboratories.
