Zirkonzahn’s lecture tour will take place in Birmingham, Cardiff and Southampton from 29 September to 1 October 2025.
Zirkonzahn (South Tyrol, Italy) will soon begin the fourth part of its 2025 lecture tour, ‘High-tech meets handicraft – optimisation of the digital workflow for the fabrication of full dentures’. This time, it will reach dental technicians and dentists in Birmingham, Cardiff and Southampton from 29 September to 1 October 2025.
Lecturer DT Lorenzo Pelizzari (instructor and CAD/CAM expert at Zirkonzahn) will present state-of-the-art methods and techniques for the creation of functional and aesthetically pleasing full dentures as an alternative to implant-supported prostheses. Indeed, even if minimally invasive procedures are becoming increasingly important, there are still patients who need a complete restoration after total tooth loss.
Participants will be guided through the challenges faced when creating a full denture with 28 teeth, considering the different initial patient situations: whether the patient is edentulous or wearing existing prostheses in good or poor condition, the lecture will provide insights into the tailored approaches needed for optimal results.
Resin materials and hands-on demonstrations
The process of creating high-quality dentures also involves digital technologies and correct materials. For this reason, the lecture will introduce new PMMA-based, nearly monomer-free resins and will demonstrate how digital solutions with automated set-up functions can simplify tooth placement and gingiva creation, ensuring an efficient, accurate and optimised workflow. Furthermore, participants will benefit from hands-on demonstrations of bonding teeth to denture bases using an innovative protocol based on the principle of cold welding.
The lecture is for both dental technicians and dentists and meets the criteria for the UK GDC’s development outcome C. Participation is free, but registration in obligatory.
