Paul Gange Jr.: Chairside Direction for Digitally Guided Ortho
Indirect bonding is arguably the most effective way to reduce chair time; throw in the most recent technology of digitally guided IDB and now we’re talking EFFICIENCY. Printed metal appliances? No separators? Not just magic in production, but magic in reducing labor and chairtime. How far are you willing to commit to the digital revolution? With most recent concerns about labor shortages in the Ortho office, reducing chairtime is of paramount concern. Achievable in both digitally guided and “old school” in-house IDB - this lecture will serve as an all encompassing review of both custom and clean base indirect bonding protocols. Combining his clinical chairside experience and extensive knowledge of proper tooth preparation - Paul has organized a thorough road map to navigate the world of IDB!
- Attendees will leave with a thorough understanding of the pros/cons of clean vs. custom base IDB
- Attendees will gain insight as to the most popular techniques in IDB from lab work to the digitally guided revolution
- Attendees will achieve a better understanding of the workflows in IDB when presented with bonding to non-enamel substrates
- Attendees will thoroughly comprehend the intricacies of bonding to artificial substrates while incorporating the digital processes
