Spreading the digital word – Lino Adolf

Lino Adolf, Managing Director of the Academy of Digital Dentistry, talks about the importance of education for clinicians and how digital dentistry transforms communication

Digital Dentistry Your Way

Doing many of my crowns and veneers in-house has led to significant savings, not only in cost but in time too. I’ve worked out I save 20 minutes per restoration with CEREC, and over the weeks and months this can amount to quite a few days I get back. I’ve also made some savings in laboratory fees and temporaries.

Those cases I do outsource to the laboratory – the particularly complex cases – nearly always come back perfect. Because of the improved communications ‘going digital’ brings, it means less impression faults and remakes. My relationship with my laboratory has actually improved as a result and more of my work fits beautifully.
