As is the nature of all things new, the motivations for adopting an emerging technology must extend beyond novelty alone. The battle between mainstay and modern solutions is usually won with improvements in cost, quality and/or convenience. In the course of his presentation, Johnson will demonstrate how these factors are reflected in the ever-evolving materials and methods utilized in our past, present and future denture workflows and, more importantly, how they can align as an opportunity to truly revolutionize dentistry for all.
