Endless Possibilities

One of the core principles of most successful businesses is a never-ending effort toward improvement. In the dental laboratory, this can apply to many aspects of the operation, especially technology. CAD/CAM technology may seem to be trending toward a point of leveling off in terms of accuracy, speed, and affordability of the hardware and software, but innovation continues to proliferate in new and exciting directions, often even overlapping.

To assist in identifying and analyzing these new directions of innovation and explore future potential, IDT enlisted four of the leading voices on technology in dentistry. These experts were asked to share their perspectives and informed opinions on where particular concepts are headed, what next-generation innovations and improvements have been made, and what the future may hold. IDT is proud and honored to offer these powerful perspectives to help lead dental laboratories to the best technological decisions for their future.
