What are the challenges facing the dental lab order today? OPDL is an established order due to the solidarity of my fellow peers and colleagues. It’s main challenge is to involve secur- ing the rights of our colleagues and perform strict laws for those who would try to practice our profession illegally. What are your recommendations fer our patients a large cascade of benefits, they do not come without disadvantages. Often than not, part of the remaining healthy tooth structure must be sacrificed to accommodate and retain the restoration. Regard- less of the method of fabrica- tion, whether direct or indirect, dental materials used usually exhibit dimensional as well as structural changes through the process leading to an array of problems. It is paramount for perfect re- sults to standardize procedures as well as different steps taken to fabricate a restoration. Man- ual fabrication involves numer- ous errors that are nothing but part of the human nature. The human eyes and hands are not predictable when measuring and evaluating dimensions, an- gles, spaces, and all other cal- culations needed to achieve a satisfactory result. Computers are, beyond doubt, far superior to humans in determining such critical parameters. Rapid developments in the field of CAD/CAM systems in the last decade are bringing us ever closer to our goal. Nowadays, digital workflow can be imple- mented with great confidence. Scanners, milling units, and 3D Dr. Munir Silwadi BDS, MRCDSO, DUSS, FADI, FICD CEO, Dr Munir Silwadi Dental Centers msilwadi@eim.ae Contact Information printers are getting so precise to the extent that results can exhibit preciseness of few if not single micron tolerances. Utiliz- ing the very well advanced CAD software, we are able to come up with almost perfect restora- tion designs. CAM software are following suit. What we see on the screen is often what we got out of the milling unit or the 3D printer. It is the obligation of every one of us to join this fast moving industry. We owe it to our patients as well as to our- selves to get acquainted with and put in use all available tech- nology to offer the best possible treatment. I believe that Digital and CAD/ CAM generated restorations are taking over in setting the stand- ards of dental restorations. They are precise, predictable and much easier to produce. We are, beyond doubt, getting closer to our goal. The perfect restora- tion seems to be just around the corner. to the fresh dental lab graduates? I would like to tell all fresh graduates to enrol immediately after their graduation in our dental laboratory order to en- sure a better future and uphold the right to practice as dental laboratory specialist legally and together we will be more pow- erful through solidarity. I would advise them as well to be honest individuals in their community. President Sakr, truly an hon- our to interview you here today, would you like to share more top- ics to the Dental Tribune readers in the MEA region? I would like to thank you for giv- ing me the opportunity to share with your readers all the dis- cussed topics and keep reading the Dental Tribune.
