DT Study Club symposium to highlight current applications of dental 3D printing

The programme will also examine advanced applications of additive manufacturing in implantology and orthodontics. Drawing on extensive clinical experience, Dr Takashi Nakaya will demonstrate how 3D printing can support the production of surgical guides, provisional restorations and Shape Memory Aligners, with particular attention to complex all-on-X treatment concepts. His session will also address workflow integration, aesthetic finishing techniques and strategies for reducing laboratory costs through in-house production.

Completing the programme, Dr Andrew Ip will talk about aesthetic optimisation of 3D-printed restorations. His presentation will explore practical characterisation and glazing techniques that can help clinicians and dental assistants enhance the appearance of monolithic restorations and achieve more natural-looking results.

The symposium forms part of the DT Study Club specialty symposium series, which has attracted several thousand dental professionals worldwide. Previous editions focusing on digital dentistry and implantology drew strong international participation.

Participation is free of charge; however, registration prior to the online event is required and available at www.dtstudyclub.com. The first session will begin at 3 p.m. CEST. Participants can earn up to four continuing education credits.
