There was also the chance for attendees to get up close and personal with the latest innovations, such as SmileView tool and iTero 5D Element scanner, as well as hearing from speakers on how iTero scanner and the Invisalign system are key to the development of any forward-thinking dental business.
Programmed to change
Following two presentations on Align’s continuous product and technology innovation, day one kicked off with an incisive look at ‘science fiction in healthcare’.
Medical futurist Bertalan Mesko dedicated his presentation to highlighting new technologies and the way delegates can evolve to incorporate the necessary change in their delivery of dentistry to optimise care.
Ken Hughes, a leading shopping and consumer behaviouralist, investigated the concept of modern-day consumerism and how digital influences are shaping patient expectations and values.
In the sessions that followed, practitioners Elaine Halley, Michaela Sehnert, Edouard Negre and Giuseppe Marano offered guidance on the practical tools and techniques to help delegates maximise the benefits of the digital workflow using Align Technology’s iTero technology.
A round table discussion opened the afternoon session, providing an opportunity to interact with Invisalign providers Raman Aulakh and Chris Orr.
