Sat. 8.30, Sat. 10.30 Live demo
Reshaping Clinical Dentistry with Emerging Technologies

In this presentation Dr. Mora will introduce and discuss the next generation stereoscopic video microscope system that would allow the operator and the assistant to bring the oral cavity into their working view while assuming a neutral postural position. It makes it easy for both to access areas in the mouth that were impossible to view with a traditional optical microscope. This technology will saving the operator and assistant from inevitable postural disabilities.

Dr. Hirata will share and discuss his latest research findings on the
importance of margin adaptation of restorations. He will also show clinical applications of a new preparation protocol and a special bur that he designed for precise tooth preparation, based on his research findings.
Furthermore, the possibility of making optical impressions through the microscope will be introduced
