The meeting was a part of the annual congress, 13th CAD/CAM & Digital Dentistry Conference & Exhibition that was held in beautiful arena of Madinat Jumeirah Conference Cen- tre on 04-05 May 2018. Dental Tech- nician Sessions were an accomplish- ment not only for dental laboratory owners and dental technicians but also for the entire dental technology profession.

The event was spread over two very active days for all participants and welcomed 154 dental technicians. On the first day there were seven various tables where the hands-on trainings took place. The tables oper- ated simultaneously with a rotation of several groups for each table. The trainings were help in small groups (10 seats available per session) in or- der to have the highest impact. Out- standing dental technicians present- ed various topics of a great interest to the dental technicians. The partici- pants had an opportunity to interact immediately and ask their personal questions. The practical demonstra- tions, at the same time, provided in- spiration and offer means of trouble shooting. On the second day Saturday 05 May 2018, Dental Technician Interna- tional Meeting scientific programme took place and a line-up extraordi- nary dental technicians who provid- ed their best interpretations of the latest novelties in the dental tech- nicians profession. Aiham Farrah, CDT, from Syria spoke about Flaw- less Lab-Fabricated Dental Restora- tions, followed by Philippe De Moyer from Belgium who had a lecture on Innovative Method in Guided Sur- gery to Prepare Immediate Loading and Place Dental Implant. Rik Jacobs from the Netherlands introduced 3D Printing on the Edge of Conversion and Eric Berger from France finished interview “Dentistry has finally arrived in the digital age” case report Screw-retained implant-supported restoration in the edentulous maxilla CONE BEAM supplement Dynamic navigation for reliable and predictable flapless implant placement the day with his lecture on “Aesthetic Realization with VITA: Cut Back on VITA Block”. The next edition of Dental Techni- cian Meeting will be held on 12-13 April 2019 in Madinat Jumeirah Con- ference Centre.

Christian Brenes, Ibrahim Duqum & Gustavo Mendonza, USA Dental crowns have been used for decades to restore compromised, heavily restored teeth, and for aes- thetic improvements. New Comput- er Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) materi- als and systems have been devel- oped and evolved in the last decade for fabrication of all-ceramic restora- tions. Dental CAD/CAM technology is gaining popularity because of its benefits in terms of time consuming, materials savings, standardisation of the fabrication process, and predict- ability of the restorations. The number of steps required for the fabrication of a restoration is less compared to traditional meth- ods (Fig. 1). Another benefit of CAD/ CAM dentistry includes the use of new materials and data acquisition, which represents a non-destructive method of saving impressions, res- torations and information that is saved in a computer and constitutes an extraordinary communication tool for evaluation. The incorporation of dental tech- nology has not only brought a new range of manufacturing methods and material options, but also some concerns about the processes involv- ÿPage B2
