In modern dental laboratory and clinical practice, success is determined not only by the availability of equipment but also by the level of specialist knowledge, the mastery of advanced techniques, and innovative materials. Major international events fit into this context, where professionals exchange experiences, learn new protocols, and gain access to technologies that affect the efficiency and aesthetics of restorations. One such event is the LMT LAB DAY Chicago 2026, where HASSBIO America is organizing an educational program and presenting a new material for CAD/CAM production. This initiative reflects the trend towards integrating education and technological innovation, aimed at developing professional mastery and improving the quality of restorative work.
From February 19 to 21, 2026, Chicago (USA) hosted LMT LAB DAY Chicago 2026 — one of the significant events of the year for dental technicians, laboratories, and clinics working with digital workflows. The exhibition features the latest technologies and materials, and also organizes educational courses focused on improving skills for working with CAD/CAM systems and aesthetic materials.
Within the framework of the program, HASSBIO America presented a series of courses titled “Practical Mastery, Predictable Esthetics,” aimed at in-depth training in practical methods. The courses were held on February 19 and were designed so that participants could apply the techniques learned directly in their work, increasing the efficiency and predictability of restorative protocols.
The educational program covered topics such as mastering pressable esthetics with Amber Press materials, working in a CAD/CAM environment with Amber Mill and Amber Mill Disk, and furnace-free esthetic workflows with the new Amber Mill H material. Invited speakers — renowned master technicians and laboratory owners from the USA and Colombia — shared their experience in optimizing the production process and achieving highly aesthetic results.
One of the central announcements from HASSBIO America at the event was the launch of Amber Mill H — a new hybrid material for CAD/CAM processing. This material is designed with a focus on combining aesthetics, ease of processing, and flexibility of application in laboratory and clinical settings.
Amber Mill H supports dry milling, which simplifies integration into existing digital workflows and reduces equipment requirements. After processing, the material is capable of demonstrating high aesthetic properties upon polishing without additional complex steps, and also allows for easy staining and glazing if necessary.
Furthermore, HASSBIO America presented updated temperature recommendations for Amber Mill, which allow achieving five different levels of translucency (HT+, HT, MT, LT, and MO). This system gives technicians the ability to finely tune the visual properties of the restoration, increasing the depth and vitality of the appearance without needing to change materials or complicate layering techniques.
Also at the booth, strategies for optimizing the milling of Amber Mill Disks were demonstrated, including improvements to tool paths, edge stability, and marginal fit accuracy, which contributes to obtaining more predictable and precise results in the production of restorations.
Modern laboratories strive to speed up order processing, reduce cycle time, and enhance the aesthetics of finished restorations. In this context, educational events such as the course series at LMT LAB DAY Chicago represent not only a space for experience exchange but also a platform for adapting new materials and protocols. Amber Mill H and the accompanying recommendations demonstrate how innovations in materials and workflows can improve the performance and quality of restorations, reducing processing complexity and enhancing visual results.
Furthermore, participation in such programs promotes the development of professional communication networks, the exchange of best practices, and the consolidation of knowledge, which strengthens the professional community and contributes to the dissemination of effective standards in digital dentistry.
The educational series and the launch of the new HASSBIO America material at LMT LAB DAY Chicago 2026 underscore the importance of merging professional education and technological innovation in the modern dental industry. Courses focused on practical application and new materials capable of simplifying workflows and improving aesthetic results reflect the key development trends in the laboratory-clinical segment.
Для зубных техников и стоматологических лабораторий участие в таких событиях становится стратегическим инструментом повышения качества работы, ускорения производственных циклов и укрепления компетенций в быстро развивающейся цифровой среде. Amber Mill H, с его гибридными свойствами и возможностями прозрачности, является примером того, как современные материалы могут расширять клинические и лабораторные горизонты без усложнения технологий.
