The challenges of dental laboratory technology education: will it survive?

Accredited formal educational programs in dental laboratory technology are now under pressures at levels they have never undergone before. Already pushed to the point where many have had to close their doors, the remainder are struggling to survive with already strained resources. Whether or not they will be able to maintain their existence will depend upon their ability to attract quality students, provide them with a good, up to date education, and do so with ever increasing efficiency.

Comparing vertical dimension changes with and without a face-bow transfer.

The purpose of this investigation was to identify any difference of vertical dimension change that could be attributed to not using a face-bow transfer. Both demonstrations resulted in occlusal changes in vertical dimension. In comparing the demonstrations, where a hinge axis transfer was not taken, a greater amount of change was recorded over that observer in the demonstration where the hinge axis transfer was made. More dedicated research is clearly warranted to establish how much of the change was due to normal technical error. The time spent taking a face-bow transfer (hinge axis) may represent a small portion of the time required to accomplish adjustments on a denture where no transfer was performed. This information will allow the clinician to decide on the time they are willing to dedicate to occlusal corrections at the chair.
