I love my analog escapes in the digital world.
Cdt. Hilal Kuday

As a dental technician who was born one hundred percent in the analog world, I needed to understand how to accept digital technology into my daily routine.
When you say “digital world”, most people think about dealing with software or robotic milling unit managements making our lives easier by pushing only one button to give the most important commands. This is not the case.
Unfortunately, hand-manipulated techniques are falling by the wayside and these “analog technicians” are fearful for their futures.
However, you will realize that as you go deeper into the digital world, you will also need analog knowledge to improve your digital future.
The issue, then, is not to be the most digitalized person or lab. The key lies in knowing how to integrate software or robotic manipulations with relevant and viable analog techniques as a means to achieve an ultimate esthetic and functional outcome.
In this lecture I will show some of my daily routines of digital manipulation with analog protocols, and will provide tricks and techniques that will make our lives faster, easier and comfortable.
