Digitization can bring dental technicians and dentists closer together. How new opportunities arising from this interdisciplinary approach can be used best is the topic of Amann Girrbach’s AG.Live CON virtual congress, which will be held from April 20–24.

The event will kick off with a top-class panel discussion in which independent experts such as Profs. Daniel Edelhoff, Florian Beuer and Andreas Moritz will discuss the issues governing current patient care: What is the significance of digitization for dentistry? Is it possible to sustainably narrow the communication gap between dentists and dental technicians and unite both parties in a common, efficient treatment approach? Will all dentists in future be required to offer direct restorations?

The individual problems and approaches to solutions will be dealt with in greater depth in a wide-ranging program of specialist presentations.

However, theory is only one part of the equation. During the event, Amann Girrbach will present numerous new product developments at a virtual exhibition, including the AG.Live platform, which offers networking opportunities for dentists and dental laboratories and thus facilitates effortless interdisciplinary teamwork. These networking opportunities also support collaboration in direct restorations, which are increasingly being requested by patients. Using AG.Live, the dentist can always consult a dental technician, whose expertise remains indispensable for high-quality restorations. With its new intraoral scanner and its AG.Live platform, Amann Girrbach offers dentists an easy introduction to direct restorations and allows them to provide patients with same-day dentistry of laboratory quality.

Dental technicians and dentists can register free of charge for the digital congress at show.aglivecon.digital. The website provides information on the congress program. At the virtual exhibition, participants can contact Amann Girrbach’s specialists directly.
