Digitalisation is boosting laboratories - a large selection of materials - high flexibility in the production - new procedures for attractive total prosthetics - IDS demonstrates the opportunitiesWe can see two sections in the midst of the global development, the analogue and the digital world. There are long-term stable trends (in particular: " the mega trend health " ) and the fast-beat " bits and bytes " of the digital dental technologies. Those dental technicians, who know how to bring these two together, profit the most. Retaining the overview and making targeted future decisions, visiting the International Dental Show, 12 to 16 March 2019, in Cologne is the best way to go about this.Several innovation focuses in the digital technologies section are obvious: they were actually what made the processing of certain materials possible or economically viable in the first place. As such, crowns and bridges can comprise of zirconium oxide, lithium disilicate, zirconium oxide reinforced lithium disilicate, feldspar, hybrid ceramics, high-performance plastics or even alloys containing gold or non- precious alloys.The laboratory is flexible regarding the choice of production options: Own production or outsourcing to the partner laboratory or independent central producer or industrial service provider; outsourcing the production or design and production. Even individual abutments can be ordered centrally or produced in-house today.Whereas CAD/CAM methods have established themselves...
