Learn about the true meaning of “open platform” and how to avoid technology obsolescence. Find out how to tell if a system is completely “open” or “closed” and the implications. Learn about the latest state-of-the-art impression and stone model scanning technologies and partial design software. Also covered, will be an outline of the Dental Wings comprehensive applications for prosthetic designs of copings, crowns, bridges and implants. Find out why the DWOS is the world’s most accepted design software with millions of DWOS prosthesis designs within patients!
Bob Steingart
Bob has been with SensAble for over 8 years, and was promoted to President of SensAble Dental Products in 2005. Bob has over 25 years experience in successfully transforming innovative technologies into commercial solutions. He has held executive positions in business development, product management, and marketing at Avid Technologies, EMC, Lotus Development, Sitara Networks, and Kurzweil Applied Intelligence. Bob holds an MBA from Harvard Business School, and BSEE and MSEE degrees from MIT.
Bob will address the market acceleration factors that are driving even the smallest labs to CAD/CAM systems and share perspectives on some new and emerging technologies that will propel this adoption even faster. In addition, he will talk about the underlying data structures and technologies that differentiate digital dental systems, and how they integrate with chairside technologies -- today and into the future. He will also share some case studies from labs that have successfully made the transition to digital systems, including stories about how successful labs are utilizing non-dental technicians in their production workflows.
Anthony Reynolds
R. Anthony Reynolds BA MSc PhD has specialized in computerized medical image processing since 1973. He was a co-founder of Image Diagnostic Technology Ltd and IDT Dental Products Ltd where he now serves as Managing Director. Dr Reynolds is a Registered Clinical Scientist (number CS03469) and has lectured extensively on medical imaging, radiation safety and computerized surgical planning for dental implantology.
“The demand for digital dental technology is swiftly gaining momentum and CAD/CAM (computer aided design / computer aided manufacturing) techniques are being adopted in every area by dental health professionals. In the world of implant dentistry, digital technologies speed up the treatment process and provide greater accuracy and precision in planning, placing and restoring dental implants. Recent advances in stereo photography incorporate aesthetic information into the implant planning process by providing lifelike 3D representations of the patient’s skin surface. This workshop will provide an overview of the emerging digital technologies that are likely to be found in dental laboratories of the future”.
Markus Sellerer
Markus Sellerer was born in 1968 in Nuremberg. He received his diploma in electrical engineering at the University of Nuremberg in 1991. While working as sales representative at Grundig AG, he studied at the academy of commerce in Nuremberg and received his economy diploma in 1996. 2005 he become Sales Director of 3D-Shape GmbH. Today he can look back to 5 years experience in the field of soft tissue imaging in medical applications.
The new X-ray free 3D soft tissue imaging method for faces and other body parts becomes standard in medical field.
Review – Current Situation – The future.
Product: BodySCAN3D and FaceSCAN3D developed by 3D-Shape
Edward Attenborough
Edward has over 20 years industry experience in major ICT projects. He has been responsible for the development and management of a variety of large projects in organisations throughout Europe including NATO, the European Space Agency and financial institutions. In 1999 he was appointed as a Director of Attenborough Dental and has overseen a transformation of this well-established SME through diversification and unprecedented expansion of operations.
Attenborough’s Digital Dental Lab was the first (April 2000) UK digital production centre to launch an in-house CAD-CAM service and are now one of the largest in the UK. They were the first (September 2005) to adopt rapid prototyping and apply laser melting for non-precious copings and frameworks and to offer wax-resin 3D printing for cobalt chrome removables. In 2006 they won the prestigious EMDA Medilink New Technology Award and they were the first (August 2007) to accept stl files now serving the Henry Schein Freedom Network (Dental Wings scanners) as their first production centre via DDX, the 3M Lava Network (Lava ST scanners) via Lavaconnect, and all other open format scanners (eg: 3Shape, Laserdenta, TDS) via Yousendit.
Attenborough offer a wide range of CAD-CAM materials: Digital Waxup, Composite, Non-precious, Titanium, Glass Ceramic, InCeram Alumina and Zirconia, Zircon, E-max and translucent Diamond Zirconia. A scan + design service is also available with national same day courier collection and delivery with ISO 13485, ISO 9001, DAMAS, IIP and Straumann Platinum accreditation and online tracking from collection through manufacture to delivery.
Dr Chris Sutcliffe
Dr Chris Sutcliffe, “R & D Director, MTT Technologies Group” was one of the original innovators of Selective Laser Melting (SLM) having worked with the technology for an EPSRC funded research grant to manufacture metallic parts in the late 90’s. Prior to joining MTT, Dr Sutcliffe was a founder member and director of the Manufacturing Science and Engineering Research Centre at the University of Liverpool. The centre is well known for its innovative approach to manufacturing and pioneered metal based additive fabrication using the SLM process amongst others. Dr Sutcliffe is well known and highly regarded in the rapid prototyping industry. He holds a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering, a PhD in fluid dynamics from the University of Liverpool, and has published over 100 articles on advanced manufacturing. Dr Chris Sutcliffe will introduce the latest developments in Selective Laser Melting, including the new production equipment and technologies developed over the last 18 months by the MTT Technologies Group.
Novel methods for the manufacture of dental reconstruction devices and, in particular, production methodologies for the scalable production of osseointegrating dental implants will also be discussed |
"The UK's premier dental exhibition, Dental Showcase, takes place 14-16 October at ExCeL London. Over 10,000 members of the dental team are expected to attend the three-day event. More than 300 companies from the UK and abroad are likely to exhibit."Click here to 
Questionnaires, posters and stickers will be available for visitors who want to advertise the message in their practices. Our mascot Mr Tooth will also be making an appearance and will be available for photos. 
The BDTA has become recognised by the dental team, trade and press for producing eye catching, award winning marketing campaigns for BDTA Dental Showcase and this is perceived as a vital part of the formula for a successful event.
