On 28th March 2021, Dentsply Sirona invited dental professionals to a special virtual event: Five renowned experts as well as a moderator debated the topic, “Restoration of dark stump teeth with CEREC”, in a roundtable discussion. More than 200 dental professionals from all over Asia were part of this interactive event.
With the CEREC Roundtable, a first-class online event took place. Moderated by Dr Hsuan Chen, a lecturer and trainer advisor to the CEREC Asia Training Centre, the speakers Drs Justin Giam (Singapore), Suchada Kongkiatkamon (Thailand), Ignatius Ronny Halim (Indonesia), Perlin Loke (Malaysia) and Ryan Tse (Hong Kong) shared their expertise on a selected aesthetical case, which they used to illustrate numerous aspects of the CEREC workflow in detail.
This covered all aspects of the digital workflow involving preparation guidelines, scanning protocols, selection of right materials, aesthetic enhancement of CAD/CAM milled restorations and cementation as well as bonding protocols to ensure the long-term success of restorations in dark stump cases.
The participants of the virtual event complimented the excellent organisation and were particularly impressed by the depth of the lively discussion. Some clinicians outed themselves as CEREC beginners and were particularly interested in the features of the CEREC Primescan and the CEREC Primemill.
Dr Agnes Wong, a general practitioner from LQ Dental Singapore, enjoyed the session very much.
“I haven’t used Dentsply Sirona products before in my work. But attending this Roundtable discussion has given me new insights and I would like to start using Primescan now,” she shared excitedly.
Mr Boris Ip, general manager of Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam at Dentsply Sirona, was happy about the positive feedback of attendees.
“Dentsply Sirona is committed to empowering dental professionals through innovation and education. Educational courses like this CEREC Expert Roundtable discussion support dentists and their team members in their daily work to provide the best possible care to their patients and make people smile,” he explained. “Last year, almost 7,300 courses [mainly online] were held in 80 countries with a total of more than one million participants. This is unique.”
The CEREC Expert Roundtable, organised out of Singapore, was held in appreciation of the CEREC system from Dentsply Sirona, which recently celebrated its 35th anniversary. For many users around the globe, CEREC has since become a synonym for excellent restorative treatment in a single visit.
It is of utmost importance to Dentsply Sirona to support its customers in efficiently and successfully using the CEREC system in practice. In addition to on-site training, this also includes an extensive eLearning offering.
Many participants of the Roundtable discussion reported that the future of dentistry would be digital— and the future is now.
Using digital technologies in dental practices was essential to remain ahead of the competition and, above all, to achieve the best possible results for patients, they said.
Mr Ip, concluded, “We are committed to supporting our customers get the knowledge, skills, inspiration and certification they need to stay up-to-date as well as develop themselves and their practices, during the pandemic and beyond.”
