About lector

Vincent Fehmer is a master dental technician (MDT) at the Clinic for Fixed Prosthodontics and Biomaterials, Center for Dental and Medicine, University of Geneva, Switzerland; he also runs his own laboratory in Lausanne Switzerland. Vincent Fehmer received his dental technical education and degree in Stuttgart, Germany in 2002. From 2002 to 2003 he performed fellowships in Great Britain and the US in Oral Design certified dental technical laboratories. In 2009 he received the degree as a MDT in Germany. MDT Fehmer is an active speaker on a national and international Level.

Digital technology changed both the work methods and materials in dentistry. A big change was felt in implant planning, where diagnostics, planning, as well as procedures changed. 3D imaging techniques are more commonly used, therefore knowledge of their indications, guidelines and limitations. Implant insertion is facilitated using digital surgical guides, and virtual treatment planning opens new ways of communication with the dental lab and the patient.

Digital technology also brought many changes to dental materials. Conventional porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations are being phased out by all-ceramic materials because of improved aesthetics and enamel-like translucency. Due to the high number of restorative possibilities, the choice of the ideal material is getting more and more complex.

The lecture will highlight both conventional and digital treatment planning, implementation and communication methods, and their indications and limitations will be compared. Digital possibilities will be highlighted, and points when traditional manufacturing is still beneficial will be indicated.

Hands-on course will also be beneficial to the dentists who do stain and glaze chair-side full contour restorations.
