Intraoral scanning for Digital Dentures

Workflows for fabricating Full and Partial dentures digitally

SYDNEY - JUL 22 |

MELBOURNE - AUG 5

This event is both a lecture documenting why you should choose digital dentures today as the optimal solution for your dental practice or denture clinic together with a LIVE systematic run-through of the process for fabricating both full and partial digital dentures.
