Labs
Coverage dedicated to dental laboratories, technicians, production workflows, materials, automation, and the changing role of the lab in the digital dental economy.
The New Dental AI Divide
In digital dentistry, the advantage won't go to the people who can build AI. It will go to the people who can direct it, verify it, and fit it safely into real workflows.
The New Visual Decision Layer in Dentistry
How AI-assisted patient visualization is transforming case presentation from clinical explanation to emotional experience.
The Dental Lab Technician Isn't Disappearing. The Job Is Being Rewritten.
AI, CAD automation, design outsourcing, milling, 3D printing, and robotics are not ending the technician's role. They are moving the bottleneck from hand production to judgment, orchestration, and trust.
The Dental Lab Is No Longer a Place. It’s a System.
Automated Micro-CT file delivery is only the surface. The bigger story is the rise of connected lab infrastructure, where scans, cases, software, and production steps begin to move as one coordinated workflow.
The Dental Lab Won’t Just Make Crowns. It Will Learn From Them.
AI is turning dental labs into closed-loop systems where every scan, design, remake, adjustment, and delivery teaches the next case.
The Future of the Dental Lab Is Material Intelligence
Russell A. Giordano II’s research reveals a quiet truth about modern dentistry: the labs that win may not just design better restorations. They may understand the science beneath them better than anyone else.
Before Dental AI, There Was Biogeneric
How Sirona taught CAD software to infer teeth from the patient—not just select them from a library.
