From early 2025 to early 2026 Khai Nguyen Dental Lab ran and took part in a series of internal training activities, professional exchanges with clinicians, and observation visits by dental students. This article collects them in chronological order, as part of the laboratory’s position that craftsmanship is the core determinant of restoration quality.
February 2025: internal workshop on layering anterior effects, Matisse method
On 22 and 23 February 2025, specialist Ziyang Ke worked directly with our technicians on layering effects that reproduce a natural central incisor using the Matisse method. The outcome was fifteen finished anterior units in which shade, translucency and light reflection were reconstructed from natural teeth. We are grateful to the clinicians who allowed delivery dates to be moved so that our technicians could attend the full course.
March 2025: private workshop with Shofu
A private workshop at the laboratory with Shofu (SotaD) and Ms Connie Moy covered two subjects: building pink gingiva with Ceramage composite, and getting the most out of the Shofu Vintage Prime pressed ceramic system. The hands-on Ceramage gingival work shortened the fabrication time for artificial gingiva on full-arch implant cases while maintaining the esthetic standard.
October 2025: professional session on intraoral photogrammetry at Vien Dong Dental
Khai Nguyen attended a discussion with the clinicians of Vien Dong Dental on “Intraoral photogrammetry (IPG): a new step in the digital full-arch implant impression workflow”. This is the workflow the laboratory applies to full-arch bar cases; it removes the conventional impression step and shortens the time needed to verify implant positions.
November 2025: hosting two groups of resident dentists
Khai Nguyen hosted two groups of resident dentists from the Faculty of Odonto-Stomatology at Van Lang University and the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Ho Chi Minh City. Our team presented an overview of materials and current restoration types, the production workflow and turnaround times, guided a tour of the production area, and closed with a question and answer session.
November 2025: internal workshop on implant restorations with Dr Nguyen Ngoc Trung Hau
On 21 November 2025, Dr Nguyen Ngoc Trung Hau (Vien Dong Dental) spoke to our technicians about types of implant restoration, material selection criteria and emergence profile design. Within the same programme, Mr Nguyen Tran Nguyen Khai presented on long-term provisional materials for digital All-on-X. A clinical perspective from the dentist helps the laboratory understand why each instruction on a prescription matters.

January 2026: professional exchange with Dr Colin Sar on the Kois Scan Body
Dr Colin Sar visited the laboratory to discuss “Applying the Kois Scan Body to the smile design workflow”. The session gave our technicians access to a more accurate method of merging facial and arch data, so that smile design follows the patient’s facial esthetics more closely.
What this means for the clinics that send us cases
Each activity above maps onto a specific case type: effect layering for single anterior units, pink gingiva for full-arch implants, photogrammetry for implant impressions, emergence profile for implant crowns, and facial data for smile design.
