CEREC goes to Vegas

From Wednesday, 25 August, to Saturday, 28 August, Sirona will hold its CEREC 25th Anniversary Celebration at Caesars Palace to commemorate the company’s 25 years of CAD/CAM leadership and success. The event will bring leading educators from across the globe together to give CEREC owners, staff members and dentists interested in knowing more about CAD/CAM an opportunity to learn as much as they can in a single location.

“A quarter century (of CEREC) is a big deal,” said Julie Bizzell, Sirona CEREC’s marketing manager. “This is a celebration of coming so far with the technology. CEREC owners can get together and meet and discuss ideas and learn more about the products. They can get tips and tricks from peers and come together in celebration.”

One of the highlights of the event promises to be Prof. Dr Werner Mörmann, inventor of CEREC, who will make his last public appearance when he speaks on The Evolution of the CEREC System. Other speakers include Dr Frank Spear, Dr Gordon Christensen, Dr Rella Christensen, Mr Imtiaz Manji, Dr James Klim, Dr Mark Morin, Dr Sam Puri, Dr Mark Hyman, Mr Fred Joyal, Dr Dennis Fasbinder and Matt Roberts, CDT.

Throughout the three days, Sirona will offer a variety of courses and hands-on workshops catering to everyone in the dental office, from dentists to hygienists to the office staff, as well as a track for laboratory CAD/CAM users. The event will offer up to 18 hours of C.E. credits.

“There’s an extensive list of CAD/CAM courses. If they are a new owner, a middle-of-the-road owner or an experienced owner, there is something there for everyone,” Bizzell said.

Some of the topics include CEREC is Marketing Magic, Proven Methods for CEREC Restorations, 3D CAD/CAM meets 3D X-Ray, 25 Tips and Tricks to Improve your CEREC Experience and CEREC Bridges—More Than a Provisional.

In between courses, attendees can frequent the exhibit hall, which will be full of companies showcasing products and services that will be helpful to CAD/CAM users.

And since this is Vegas, after all, there will, of course, be entertainment, including a special performance by five-time Emmy Award-winning comedian and actor Dennis Miller, a performance by legendary improv theater and training school The Second City, and a party at PURE nightclub.

“This is a celebration that only comes around once in 25 years,” Bizzell said. “To get this type of education, to learn from peers and hear from people who are making the future of CAD/CAM every day—this is a once-in-a-lifetime event.”
