He is the developer of Osseocraft, a cost-effective 3D printing system using PMMA and hydroxyapatite to fabricate osteoconductive bone grafts—offering a practical alternative to expensive materials like titanium. Dr. Adersh also explores robotics for patient engagement in clinical settings, particularly in pediatric and geriatric care. His contributions extend across prosthetics, orthodontics, surgical planning, and dental education, emphasizing translational research that connects lab innovation with real-world application.
Eligibility
This 3-month Certificate Program in Digital Dentistry & Exocad Essentials offers a comprehensive foundation in intraoral scanning, Exocad design, and 3D printing. Designed for both licensed dentists and qualified dental technicians/dental mechanics, the program combines live lectures and virtual demos
Dental mechanics may participate in all design and lab-side modules. Clinical modules related to intraoral scanning and chairside workflows are included for knowledge but not for clinical implementation
