Technology moves quickly – but what are the benefits and the pitfalls for cosmetic dentists?
At the BACD 22nd Annual Conference, Dr Oliver Harman will lead a workshop on “Is Analogue Still Relevant?”, with additional content from Dr Neil Gerrard and Dr Ken Harris. A BACD Fellow with first-hand clinical experience watching the transition from analogue to digital dentistry, Dr Harman will provide insights into the daily workflow and what works best. He sets the scene:
“The workshop encourages plenty of discussion – this is a great opportunity to see how we each individually work as well as other attendees. Digital dentistry is a recent phenomenon and I will review the transition to the digital aesthetic dental age, addressing the benefits and pitfalls of a purely digital workflow and identify when a hybrid approach can help, or when perhaps a traditional analogue workflow still remains the gold standard.
“The BACD has always put on a superb Annual Conference. The camaraderie remains a core value and the networking value is superb. For dentists at the start of their cosmetic journey, the biggest benefit is the inspiration; seeing international and homegrown lecturers do what they do best is truly rewarding and encouraging. I look forward to attending.”
