Join us for an intensive, hands-on training session that will equip you with the skills and confidence to produce high-revenue chairside splints in-house using the Aoralscan 3, Aoralscan Elite, CreSplint 2.0, and AccuFab-CEL.
This fast-paced, practical course will guide you through the complete digital workflow, from scanning and designing to manufacturing and finishing splints for your practice. You will learn how to deliver same-day splints, reduce costs, and take full control over quality and customisation – all while boosting profitability.
Why Bring Splint Manufacturing In-House?
Higher Profit Margins - Splints are among the most profitable dental appliances, typically priced between $500–$1,200 per case, with minimal material costs.
Faster Turnaround - Traditional splint fabrication can take weeks. With in-house 3D printing, you can produce splints on the same day or the next.
Cost Savings - Eliminate lab fees and shipping costs while maintaining full control over quality and customisation.
Better Patient Experience - Provide patients with precise, comfortable splints in a single visit – improving compliance and satisfaction.
