Cadent iTero added to curriculum at LVI

LVI students who attend Core II (orthotic maintenance, adjustment and essential esthetic reconstructive techniques) and Core III (mastering dynamic adhesion in complex reconstructive cases) will be exposed to the iTero system.

Core V (comprehensive esthetic occlusal reconstruction) and Core VII (full-mouth reconstruction — essential tools for finalization of neuromuscular rehabilitation) programs will have the opportunity to utilize iTero in the restorative process. iTero clinical trainers will be onsite during the programs to provide training and hands-on support for LVI students to obtain live case experience working with the iTero system.

Along with Cadent, the LVI partner laboratories (The Aurum Group, DTI MicroDental, Las Vegas Esthetics and Williams Dental Lab) will provide the comprehensive prosthetic case development from the iTero digital impressions.

“The integration of iTero into the LVI curriculum supports our expanding network of educational opportunities for new and existing iTero dentists,” said Timothy Mack, president and chief executive officer of Cadent. “Cadent recently completed its 2 millionth 3-D digital case for restorative dentists and orthodontists, a record of proven success which is required even to earn recognition by the faculty at the LVI.

“We are especially pleased that iTero has been deemed worthy of a partnership with LVI, a world-class organization that provides dentists with the continuing education needed to further develop their restorative dentistry practice.”

“The inclusion of the iTero digital impression system supports LVI’s ongoing efforts to integrate the best of dentistry’s technological advances into the LVI curriculum,” said William G. Dickerson, DDS, founder and chief executive officer of LVI. “The era of digital dentistry has arrived and the addition of iTero to our programs will enable LVI students to become proficient in the industry’s most successful digital impression system.”

iTero serves more than 1,700 dentists in 12 countries, and is the only digital impression technology that does not require powdering or coating of the teeth, enabling the processing of more complex cases than any other system.
