Credits:
3CE Credits (Category 3)
Course Overview:
Digital impression technology is no longer new. The limitations of first and second generation
scanners have paved the way for significant enhancements that are
moving the once emerging technology into common-place.
Join us for an overview of the current state of intra-oral scanning. This event will introduce
you to four of the most commercially successful digital impression units available,
allowing you to contrast and compare their respective features and advantages in
various clinical indications.
The first 60 minutes of this evening session will be lecture format as per content
outlined below. The remaining 90 minutes will feature a hands-on interaction
with each digital impression unit in succession in a clinical environment, scanning
participants intra-orally – guided by experienced instructors.
