Zahn Dental, a leading provider of dental laboratory products and services, has announced an expansion of its year-end educational programs for dental lab owners and technicians across the U.S. Pittsburgh-based Zahn Dental announced that it offers more year-end seminars for the owners of dental labs and their technicians throughout the U.S. This initiative seeks to provide updated information, practical training, and professional techniques in laboratories and also help dental professionals and their labs remain relevant in today’s technological world.
Dental Laboratories Market Size
Insights from Precedence Research, shows that the global dental laboratories market size was valued at USD 32.23 billion in 2022 and is expected to hit around USD 52.59 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.40% during the forecast period 2023 to 2032.
In the development of dental technology, Zahn Dental’s educational series is a major aspect of the digital organization, 3D printing technologies, CAD/CAM processes, and the selection of high-quality restoration materials. These sessions are both virtual and face-to-face. Thus, most participants and lab professionals from across the country can benefit from it. These are intended to have the attendee in a position to keep updated with advances in dentistry and increase the organizational efficiency of the practice and the general welfare of the patients.
The educational series provides courses on using 3D printers in dentistry and controlling different kinds of resins utilized in the production of dental models, surgical guides, and prosthetics. The practical application of 3D printing in the field has been rapidly growing and continues to provide dental labs with new opportunities for providing accurate solutions that meet the unique needs of each patient.
Since CAD CAM has become more adopted and integrated into industry practice, Zahn Dental’s technician training includes the use of the CAD-CAM software and material selection to guide the technician on the ideal material to use where appropriating, resilience, appearance, and patient comfort is considered.
Zahn Dental’s educational efforts reflect the key expansion in the need for professionals to continue their education throughout the dental sector. In the same vein, the American Dental Association (ADA) revealed that as many as 85% of dental laboratories are interested in further education about digital modelling.
Demand for Digital Dentistry Training (2020-2024)
| Year | Dental Labs Seeking Training (in %) |
| 2020 | 62 |
| 2021 | 68 |
| 2022 | 73 |
| 2023 | 80 |
| 2024 | 85 |
In its own data, the ADA found practices to have a progressive rise in the number of labs that seek higher education to address new technologies. Zahn Dental’s year-end programs should meet this demand, its goal being to present pragmatic approaches to the issues that labs encounter in their digital transformation processes.
Due to the feedback given by the lab owners as well as the technicians, Zahn Dental has made its training involve the practical workshop where the participants are given the equipment as well as the materials to work with under the supervision of trainers. Some people cannot attend Zahn Dental training sessions physically; therefore, the company provides online training sessions to increase access nationwide for lab professionals to obtain information from exceptional trainers.

| Training Type | Attendance (%) | Key Focus Areas |
| Hands-On | 45% | 3D Printing, CAD/CAM Processes |
| Virtual | 55% | Digital Workflow, Materials Choice |
The educational and informational workshops involving practical sessions conducted through Zahn Dental are expected to create a huge difference in the lab’s performance and patient care. Most labs employ more technologically enhanced contemporary operating procedures and improved handling of dental prosthetic materials to help shorten production time and enhance the general quality of dental restorations. According to a report from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), improved training in the use of advanced technologies in the dental laboratory leads to a 20% improvement in lab productivity, aligning with Zahn Dental’s vision of improving the dental industry through education.
Training and solutions from Zahn Dental help lab professionals, patients, and dentists alike by spearheading training on crucial aspects of digital dentistry, volumetric printing, and CAD/CAM processes.
