Lecture title
The changing landscape of an increasing corporate dentistry
Session
The lecture is focused on looking how dentistry is changing for both labs and clinics and how this impacts the patients. With an increasing growth market of dental technology and yet a tumbling number of technicians to satisfy to that growth, is corporate lab groups the way forward? We have seen huge DSO chains in practices but how does that affect the lab industry and is the future bright or doom and gloom? A reflective look at the current state of our industry and how we labs can adapt and thrive in an ever increasing and changing market place.
