ORLANDO, Fla., USA: The first International Symposium on Digital Dentistry, “Technologies That Enhance Clinical Outcomes,” opened today at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld. Meeting organizers are aiming to provide in-depth educational experiences for dentists and dental laboratory technicians and owners on the clinical benefits of digital technologies and open platform workflows.

The event is being hosted by Henry Schein Inc. and Quintessence Publishing Co.

Conceived as a pathway into digital dentistry for dental professionals, the conference is focusing on procedure planning and treatment, highlighting the ways digital tools can facilitate the clinical and esthetic results of tooth restorations and implants. Participants are learning from specialized, experienced digital dentistry users, who are discussing the many advantages of digital dental technology, meeting organizers said.

“The future of dentistry is digital,” said Tim Sullivan, president of Henry Schein Dental, North America. “The change that digital technology is having on the profession is as profound as the change that personal computers had on society in the 1980s. Similar to the exponential computer technology advances we have witnessed for over 30 years, dental digital solutions will evolve increasingly fast in the years to come. For a dental practice or laboratory to thrive in this quickly changing environment, it is essential not only to make the commitment to digital now, but also to choose a long-term trusted advisor who can guide the way through the many digital challenges and opportunities that will arise. This is the role we are eager to play for our dental customers.”

The symposium is taking attendees through patient treatment approaches ranging from the simple to the most complex, educating participants about the most current digital techniques, organizers said.

“Digital technology is at the forefront of dentistry, enhancing the accuracy, speed, comfort and appearance of dental treatment for patients,” said Jonathan L. Ferencz, DDS, FACP, and scientific chair of the symposium.

Manufacturers are on-site at for product exhibitions, offering hands-on demonstrations for a range of technologies, including CAD CAM, cone beam CT, cloud-based communications and practice management integration. Conference participants can earn up to 17 continuing education (CE) credits for attending.
