On June 5–6, 2025, dental professionals gathered in Liège for an exclusive 3D Printing Masterclass led by Dr. René Daher from the University of Geneva. The two-day event provided a unique opportunity to explore the latest innovations in additive manufacturing for dentistry – combining theory, live demonstrations, and hands-on training.
Demystifying 3D Printing in Dentistry
One of the key goals of the Masterclass was to dispel common misconceptions that 3D printing is overly complex or too costly for everyday practice. Dr. Daher guided participants step by step through the complete digital workflow, showcasing how accessible and efficient this technology has become.
Training Highlights
Attendees experienced the full scope of the digital process for unitary and worn tooth rehabilitation, including:
-
Designing and fabricating crowns, onlays, and more
-
Using intraoral scanning (IOS) for a fully digital workflow
-
Treatment planning with free software tools
-
3D block printing and mastering printer settings
-
Optimizing polymerization and post-processing techniques
-
Staining and finishing for highly esthetic results
-
Achieving optimal integration with intraoral collage
-
Applying saremco print CROWNTEC resin for durable and reliable restorations
An Inspiring Educational Experience
Over the course of two days, participants not only strengthened their theoretical knowledge but also developed practical skills that can be directly applied in clinical settings. The Masterclass created an engaging environment for peer exchange, networking, and professional growth.
Thank You
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Dr. René Daher for sharing his expertise, and to all participants who joined us in Liège. This Masterclass proved that 3D printing is no longer a distant innovation, but a powerful and accessible tool for modern restorative dentistry.
