Albensi Lava Workshop
Inside Dental Technology delivers updates on digital workflows, materials, lab techniques, and innovation in dental technology through expert articles and videos.
Albensi Dental Laboratories in Irwin, Pennsylvania, invited a handful of dentists to participate in an interactive workshop in late March. It was designed to demonstrate how 3M ESPE’s Lava Chairside Oral Scanner C.O.S. can enhance patient care and increase profitability within a practice. Six dentists who currently own the Lava C.O.S. shared their experiences and lent support to the rookies in attendance.
Lab owner Don Albensi, CDT, has been an innovative force in the early days of the digital dentistry era, developing and trademarking a digital workflow known as PG-Pro™. The PG-Pro workflow uses CAD/CAM technology to produce a monolithic restoration within 48 to 72 hours at a low price. The PG-Pro process allows Albensi to receive and process scans from all major intraoral scanners from offices around the globe.
Presentations and dentist testimonials were delivered in the Press Club lounge area of Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, followed by lunch in the West Club Lounge.
