Use of 3D scanning and printing technologies to enhance dental teaching
Session synopsis: 

The SIG for the “Use of 3D scanning and printing technologies to enhance dental teaching” is aiming to canvas educators across Europe prior to the conference, to understand the variety and combinations of systems in this field that are being used to teach practical skills courses. The results of this will be presented to the group, and will inform discussion about the next steps in developing guidance and protocols. An invitation will be issued for expressions of interest for short presentations showcasing existing good practice in relation to teaching with 3D scanning and printing. Delegates will have the opportunity to further discuss how they utilise this technology as a group.
