Dental technician 1 article

Dental technician is a laboratory professional who fabricates and repairs dental prostheses and appliances from prescriptions, impressions, scans and design records supplied by clinicians. Work can include crowns, bridges, dentures, implant restorations and orthodontic devices using ceramics, polymers, metals and digital CAD/CAM systems. The technician's expertise lies in technical design and manufacture rather than clinical diagnosis or tooth preparation, so accurate communication between laboratory and dental team is essential to fit, function and material selection.
