Simple characterisation and surface sealing of 3D-printed restorations for the clinician and dental assistant

Chairside dentistry is rapidly evolving as digital workflows make same-day restorations more predictable and efficient. In this webinar, Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny will walk through a modern chairside crown workflow, from intraoral scanning and design to production and delivery, highlighting how PrintPods can help practices streamline their in-house manufacturing. Attendees will learn how modular PrintPod setups can improve efficiency, organization, and scalability for chairside restorations, while maintaining consistent results. The session will also cover practical tips for integrating scanning, design, and production into a smooth clinical workflow that enables faster turnaround times and a better patient experience.

With the growing adoption of in-office 3D printing comes the increasing use of 3D-printed indirect composite restorations. These restorations are simple, predictable and quick to fabricate. However, due to their monolithic appearance, additional surface characterisation is often required to achieve natural, aesthetic results. In this webinar, Dr Andrew Ip will explore simple characterization and glazing techniques to make these restorations pop.
