Revving Up CPD: A thrilling day with VOCO, BMW and Adam Dental on the Mornington Peninsula
In early October, dental professionals traded their scrubs for driving gloves, embarking on an exhilarating journey along the stunning Mornington Peninsula, in Melbourne’s scenic South East. Sponsored by VOCO, Adam Dental, and BMW, this unique event seamlessly blended Continuing Professional Development (CPD) with the thrill of driving.
Morning CPD at Waverley BMW
The day kicked off at Waverley BMW showrooms, where esteemed speakers Dr James Bartalotta and Dr Sigal Jacobson shared invaluable insights on advancements in composites, particularly highlighting VOCO‘s GrandioSO nano-hybrid composite. Their expertise set the stage for an unforgettable afternoon, showcasing how this innovative material offers both packable and flowable options with tooth-like physical properties.
Exploring the GrandioSO range
The GrandioSO range from VOCO is designed to meet the diverse needs of dental professionals. With an impressive filler content of 89%, GrandioSO provides outstanding wear resistance and enhanced color stability while minimizing resin content by 30-50% compared to traditional composites. This results in low volumetric shrinkage of just 1.6%, making it ideal for a variety of applications – from Class I to V restorations to repairing veneers and splinting teeth. Notably, GrandioSO boasts a flexural strength exceeding 400 MPa, ensuring durability under masticatory loads. Its thermal stability allows it to withstand daily temperature fluctuations without compromising the integrity of restorations. This combination of properties ensures long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing restorations that meet the rigorous demands of modern dentistry.
The ultimate driving experience
After the informative morning session, attendees hit the road in a convoy of sleek BMWs. With a carefully curated route showcasing breathtaking views, they experienced a diverse lineup of BMW models – from cutting-edge electric vehicles to high-performance sports cars. Well-planned stops allowed everyone to switch cars and revel in the excitement of German high-performance vehicles alongside German high-performance dental materials.
A culinary delight
Following the invigorating drive, participants indulged in a gourmet lunch at one of the peninsula‘s finest eateries, fostering connections among professionals while savoring delicious food.
Memorable moments and lasting impressions
As the day concluded back at BMW, smiles were abundant. Guests had one last chance to switch cars and soak in every last drop of excitement. Each participant left not only with unforgettable memories but also a bottle of exquisite Port Philip Estate wine.
