&lt;p&gt;Is the debate still going on for digital dentures? It is here and there is no going back. So as we move forward, how are we going to make sure that they are still done correctly? This is exactly what a dental technician and dentist are setting out to do. &lt;strong&gt;Robert Kreyer&lt;/strong&gt; is an icon in the world of removables. From analog to the very first digitally manufactured denture, Robert has seen it all. &lt;strong&gt;Dr. Stephen Wagner&lt;/strong&gt; has been doing removables for years and has embraced digital early in it's life. Together they talk about how digital dentures have evolved over time, the importance of knowing and using the fundamentals, and how the ultimate goal of digital dentures needs to be better and not faster.&lt;/p&gt;

In this program, she will review the incredible history of removables with Ivoclar and focus on the new and exciting evolution based print resin and of course, the PM7. Her goal is to provide you with several key takeaways that will allow you to work smarter and not harder.

&lt;h3&gt;Are you a dental lab in need of more talent to improve your bottom line and keep production on schedule?
