IDLA: Illinois Dental Laboratory Association

The Illinois Dental Laboratory Association is the representative voice of the dental technology industry in Illinois. We are dedicated to promoting and advancing the high standards and ethics of our profession by providing our members with advocacy, professional & technical education, and opportunities to network with all colleagues in the dental community.

 

The following appeared as a letter to the editor in the October 2011 issue of Illinois Dental News

The Illinois Dental Laboratory Association is proud of their affiliation with the Illinois State Dental Society. So proud, that we recently distributed the following statement stuffers to all of our members.

The ADA's Council on Dental Practice wrote, "The dental laboratory industry has a key role in contributing to a high standard of patient care."

The Illinois Dental Laboratory Association Membership couldn't agree more. Furthermore, we believe that when a laboratory owner takes the initiative to become a member of the IDLA they demonstrate a dedication to their profession and ultimately patient care is elevated.

The ADA also resolved that component dental societies recognize the continuing education needs of dental technicians. The Illinois State Dental Society has already taken that one step further with their Dental Technician Membership Category. The IDLA takes that privilege seriously and provides membership in the ISDS as part of their member benefits. Once again patient care is elevated.

If your dental laboratory is not currently an IDLA member, please encourage them to take advantage of the opportunity. Thank you for your continued support.

Program Details

"The Master is in the Details"

A work philosophy that brings success in your laboratory in today’s world economy.

Globalization, financial crises, and technology have made the future of our field very uncertain . We believe that high quality work is the ultimate protection against the replacement of technicians by Cad/Cam equipment and the importation of crowns from China or other countries.

Mr. Tric begins by re-defining excellence in fixed prosthetics dentistry. In this lecture he will introduce some key steps and protocols he follows in order to face technically challenging situations with greater success, in an efficient manner.

Olivier Tric will demonstrate how to maintain and develop awareness in order to see beyond advertisements, and marketing. He will share his experience and beliefs about new technology, and how to select the materials, describing their advantages and limitations.

In this lecture Olivier Tric is also offering insights on the current trend and direction of the dental profession. He will discuss his personal observations based on his extensive clinical experience and close collaboration with several prominent prosthodontists.

After this lecture you will find inspiration to pursue excellence. You will consider again that high quality dental prosthetics can still be a mode de vie and can be rewarding at every level of your life.
