# Keynote: National Association of Dental Laboratories, Las Vegas – The Future of Dental Science

3d printing of body parts, the acceleration of medical science, the continued arrival of new implant materials driven by science – and even teeth that report via WiFI how well they are performing. These are just a few of the trends driving the future of dentistry. My keynote focused on the trends that will define the world of dentistry in the next 5 to 10 years, and what this particular sector within the industry must do to align themselves to the speed of change – both within their operations as well as in the dental practices in which they serve.
