They say waiting is the hardest part, and apparently this was true for Sirona as the company announced today that rather than waiting the remaining 3.5 years for the CEREC CAD/CAM system's 30th anniversary, it would host a CEREC 27 and a Half Year Anniversary Celebration next August 16 - 18 at The Venitian in Las Vegas.

The day started early for the technicians and lab owners attending the 8th Annual Dental Laboratory Owners Association of California CAD/CAM Expo & Symposium, but the sizable crowd was in store for a day packed with details on the latest in dental lab technology and opportunities to meet with the range of companies selling scanners, mills, materials and associated products.
