Col-LAB-oration

Course Information

Optimal results for indirect restorations require consideration of biological, mechanical and aesthetic principles and an understanding of the stages involved in their construction. If you don’t have effective communication with your dental technician regarding the essential details of the restoration then it will not be possible to accomplish what is needed for the patient. In order to achieve the best results for your patients’ cases an open line of communication with your dental laboratory is of the utmost importance. In order to avoid misunderstandings, instructions must be clear and unambiguous, and both the dentist and technician must recognise and respect the perspectives of the other. There are several factors and errors which may occur during prosthesis construction which can affect the precision of the cast and prosthesis fit. A willingness to work together to solve problems is important in the relationship with your dental technician. Without seamless collaboration, you cannot produce cost-effective and impressive restorations in a timely manner. This course will include constant input from an experienced restorative dentist and technician to hear both sides of the phone call.
