In today’s CAD-driven world, the importance of a strong lab partner is often overlooked. CAD technology can only yield products as good as the team behind them. Mr. Rensburg discusses how his laboratory team best supports clinicians through the utilization of today’s technologies and how that has enabled them to be more successful. Mr. Conrad Rensburg graduated under full scholarship from Pretoria Tech in 1992, with a four-year baccalaureate degree in technology. Since that time, he has specialized in fixed prosthetics with a heavy emphasis on dental implant restorations. While employed by ADW Dental as senior ceramist, Mr. Rensburg received managerial certification from the SADTC in 1995. He then owned and operated RensTech Fixed Prosthetics in Pretoria, South Africa. In 1999 he relocated to the US and was hired as the general manager of Absolute Dental Services. During that time, he created the nationally renowned Absolute implant department. Mr. Rensburg purchased Absolute Dental in 2004 and has now created a world-class dental lab in North Carolina.
