Implementation and Transfer of Digital Wax-up Designs into Final Tooth Supported Restorations.
Data Management – Design Techniques – Material Selection – Production Technology – 3D Printing.
Course Description
After new digital wax-ups have been designed, a try in was done to simulate the final end result for the patient and the treating team, often times new impressions have to be taken. This can either be done with intraoral scanning or traditional impression techniques. However, newly generated files from the wax-up phase can be imported into the designing software in many different ways to design either provisional or final restorations. However, file management, alignment and integration with existing scans can be challenging and is crucial not to create any miss information, especially for larger rehabilitations. Wax-up scans can be used in many different ways and techniques to ensure a fast, predictable and efficient designing process for provisional or final restorations. A varity of restorative materials and production technologies are available. 3D printing seems to be a great alternative for some indications in addition to milling.
It will be showcased on a number of selected cases.
Learning Objectives
- Understand how to transfer additional wax-up scans into the existent digital workflow.
- Understand the different techniques about matching files and data management.
- Understand Concepts for the use of wax – up scans will be discussed in detail and the advantage they have on the designing process for provisional or final restorations.
- Understand newly developed materials for 3D printing and its indications.
