Rock Your Dental World with AI and Great New 2026 Options Cont’d
Saturday, April 25
2 - 5 PM
3 CDE Credits – DDS, DH, DA, AUX
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Dental AI is ready now, and taking your profession by storm! Peter Auster discusses great ways to use it to better your dentistry and your bottom line. Meanwhile, dental companies are leapfrogging over each other to introduce the next great product. Some are outright exciting, others are just ways to increase prices on mildly tweaked products. This course will help you decide which direction to go when adding better, more intuitive technologies and products to your dental world. Also, start to truly love dentistry. Understanding dental burnout and imposter syndrome can be the keys to happiness in your chosen field.
Course Objectives:
1. Learn multiple uses for AI in dentistry that can change your practice now.
2. Dive deeply into inflation-busting products that drastically decrease your costs.
3. Discover dozens of new products that beat what you use now: single shade composites, zirconia cements, temp cements, new age curing lights, a much better retraction paste, bulk fill, better bite registration materials, better scanners and new lasers.
4. Learn about injection molding and how it can fill your chairs and start major cases now.
5. Learn how to live through “burnout” and imposter syndrome, and start enjoying dentistry.
