3D Printing for Bite Splints, Sleep Devices, and Dentures – Expanding Clinical Possibilities
Course Synopsis Presenter: Bianca Clark, DDS This course will strengthen your understanding and confidence in using 3D printing technology for a wide range of clinical applications, from occlusal guards and sleep appliances to complete and partial dentures. Learn how to integrate 3D printing into your practice with efficient, predictable workflows. Hands-on demonstrations will guide participants through each stage of the 3D printing process, including scanning, design, printing, post-processing, and delivery of finished devices. Participants will also explore emerging opportunities for 3D printing and explore strategies to leverage this technology for long-term practice growth. Learning Objectives Understand the 3D printing workflow for bite appliances, sleep devices, and dentures. Evaluate digital design options, printer technologies, and material considerations. Compare advantages of in-house versus outsourced 3D printing solutions. Apply post-processing protocols to achieve
