SCOTTSDALE, AZ / NEW YORK, NY, USA: Sirona Dental Systems, a company that pioneered digital dentistry 25 years ago and a leading producer of dental CAD/CAM systems, recently held a two-day inLab Discovery Seminar, which focused on the benefits of digital dentistry. The educational event was held at the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry.

With a jam-packed auditorium that included several hands-on demonstration stations, Sirona’s inLab Discovery Seminar turned out to be the largest dental laboratory CAD/CAM event in history, with more than 150 industry professionals in attendance.

Sirona presented the CAD/CAM event complete with a handful of distinguished lecturers in the dental and laboratory industry speaking on the hottest industry topics, which included information on all aspects of CAD/CAM and digital dentistry.

Held amidst the backdrop of the prestigious Scottsdale Center for Dentistry, all inLab Discovery Seminar attendees were provided complimentary tuition, and C.E. credits were also available for attending the educational sessions.

“We were extremely excited to present this seminar, and we were very satisfied with the number of attendees,” said Sirona Dental Systems President Michael Augins. “The inLab Discovery Seminar was an educational experience in which each and every component of CAD/CAM was thoroughly explored by seasoned users who have employed CAD/CAM technology as the workhorse of their success. It provided dental professionals with the information they require to make an informed decision about incorporating digital dentistry into their own laboratories. I believe participants walked away with a better understanding of how Sirona’s CAD/CAM solutions can actually work for them.”

Topics of discussion during the inLab Discovery Seminar included success stories, materials efficacy, how any size laboratory can increase productivity with CAD/CAM and much more.

Sirona also enlisted an impressive who’s-who list of dental industry speakers for the seminars, including:

Eddie Corrales
Russell Giordano, DMD, DMSc, FADM
Greg Harris, vice president, Novadent Group
Imtiaz Manji, CEO, Scottsdale Center for Dentistry
