Welcome to the 4th Annual Australian Digital Dentistry & Dental Technology 2023 conference.
As the publisher of Australasian Dental Practice, eLABORATE and Oral Hygiene magazines, I have witnessed the digital dentistry revolution continue to gain momentum over the past two decades and more. In 2023, using digital technology, clinicians and technicians can better diagnose and offer more predictable patient outcomes using this technology than has ever before been possible.
Digital dentistry is exciting, it’s real, it’s visual and it’s inspiring... yet despite my best efforts as a publisher of printed media to communicate the paradigm shift that digital dentistry offers the profession, we can only go so far. To really get digital dentistry, you need to see it first hand, all in one place, every solution, every possible outcome and all presented by actual users.
As much as anything, Digital Dentistry & Dental Technology 2023 is proof positive that digital dentistry has arrived and is here to stay. Over the next two days, 46 speakers will present over 90 sessions that highlight every aspect of digital dentistry, both from a treatment and a solutions perspective.
Digital Dentistry & Dental Technology 2023 is an event for dental clinicians, dental technicians and the dental industry to collaborate and learn what is possible today using technologies like intraoral and 3D facial scanning, CBCT, CAD software, milling and 3D printing.
Digital Dentistry has been driven for the past two decades in the dental laboratory and by the dental industry and more recently, the final pieces of the jigsaw have become mainstream. Now,
the sky’s the limit and at every turn, something unbelievable yesterday is suddenly possible today.
For the next two days, we present a veritable smörgåsbord of educational sessions around Digital Dentistry that will allow clinicians and technicians to create your own program based on your own needs and interests.
This event is only made possible by our many supporters who have sponsored the event, participated in the exhibition, agreed to present one of the sessions or offered advice and advocacy. To everyone who helped in any way, you know you have my thanks and gratitude evermore.
In particular, I would like to thank Dani Hannelly, Angus Pryor and Frank Currenti who are hosting Streams 1, 2 and 8. All three are well-known and stellar individuals within the dental community and all have volunteered their valuable time to help Digital Dentistry & Dental Technology 2023 run as smoothly as possible.
A special thank you also to my wife Valerie and my children, Isabella and Christian, who help whenever possible and never complain about all the time this event takes to organise!
And to everyone who registered for the 4th Australian Digital Dentistry & Dental Technology conference, whether last minute or well before we even had a program together, thank you for participating and I hope we deliver an event that meets and exceeds your expectations.

Doug Stuart & Jim Ruddy
Topic: Materials, CAD/CAM
Audience: Dental Technicians
Design of CAD/CAM restorations
- Doug StuartToday digital dentistry is expanding rapidly and further advancements in CAD/CAM equipment, both Scanning and Milling, along with software advances increase the need for further developments in materials. It is essential to understand advances in digital technologies, as well as the evolution of digital materials.
The utilisation of digital technology will only enhance the close cooperation and working relationship of the Dentist/Technician team. The evolution from hand design to digital design and the application of diagnostic smile design previews, along with provisional restorations and the possibility to practically manufacture a copy, serves as a base to create the definite all-ceramic restoration.
The material science of CAD/CAM restorations
- Jim RuddyThe overall success and aesthetic results of a CAD/CAM restoration depends on the mechanical and optical characteristics of available CAD/CAM materials. The Milling and Grinding of these restorations, along with the science and methods of material production, directly correlate to the speed and accuracy of the restorative solution. Read more online

Speaker: Dr Marc Nalder
Australia
Topic: 3D Printing, Aligners
Audience: All
Orthodontics has always been an act and react style of treatment in which the clinician continually dials in the individual treatment plan to ensure the patient is being treated in the most efficient and effective way possible.
Traditional clear aligner systems seem to have stepped away from this approach by providing an entire start to finish set of aligners, despite each patient having different responses to the treatment based on their own unique biology, levels of compliance and individual biomechanical side effects.
Delivering clear aligners through a batch based system, in which the patient is only provided a limited set of aligners before needing a fresh intraoral scan, is proving to be a complete game changer in Dr Marc’s clinic with an incredible leap forward in control of treatment outcomes.
Dr Marc will discuss the current literature surrounding clear aligner treatments, the concept and benefits of batch-based clear aligners and provide a detailed clinical and lab walkthrough as to how this system is implemented.
Dr Marc’s insight is both academic through extensive training in orthodontics and also practically-based through working in his own busy practice in Perth which produces its own brand of clear aligners using intraoral scanning and 3D printing.

Speaker: Dr Michael Lewis Australia
Topic: Digital Dentistry, CAD/CAM, Materials
Audience: Dentists
The holy grail of dentistry is an undetectable crown margin.
For decades, gold crowns were regarded unanimously as the “gold standard” of dental restorations.
They boasted the best fit, the most conservative and the most resilient of the crown materials. Milled glass ceramics were relegated to the other end of the quality spectrum. Considered by many to be the fragile, poorer fitting and unaesthetic cousin to cast dental ceramics.
Advances in dental materials, intraoral scanners and milling machines has turned the tables on old ideologies. Just like any powerful tool, they must be used in the correct manner in order to maximise their output. This lecture will showcase Dr Lewis’ treatment protocols for perfect crown preparations, intraoral scans and milling of onlays and crowns to achieve restorative excellence that will be the envy of your peers!

The FOUR Things Your Business Must Be Doing All Of In 2023 and Beyond to MAXIMISE Your Practice Growth...
Just like a four-legged table, there are four essential things that every dental practice needs to be doing at the same time in order to 10x their Practice Growth…
1. Mastering SMS Practice to Patient messaging - Nearly every business out there at present is SMSing their clients poorly… in fact in most cases the SMSs are so poorly written that they are in fact REPELLING clients away rather than attracting them towards the business.
2. Call recordings - You can’t fix what you can’t see is broken. If you’re not listening to what’s being said on your practice phone calls, and what your callers are asking, and what your team are saying, you may as well just be burning money in your fireplace…at least it will keep you warm for a short time.
3. SEO and Adwords - There’s a lot of smoke and mirrors out there when it comes to SEO and Adwords. The fact is that you can’t take clicks to the grocery store to buy food… what you need is CASH, and CASH comes from SALES.
4. AI and Chat GPT
Despite the rapid advancements in AI, there are some things the human brain and heart still will be needed to do, in order to maximise learning, and education, and results. I’ll tell you exactly what those things are, that the fourth leg of the table needs for stability.
