Course Description:
Digital workflows & 3D printing in implant dentistry: reducing complications and improving aesthetics
Description: Digital workflows utilizing intra oral scanning, CBCT's and facial scanning hold promise in reducing complications, improving aesthetics and predictability of implant therapy. We will review digital workflows aiding in 3D printed provisional restorations from single units through hybrids.
Objectives:
- Understand implementation of IO and CBCT scanning techniques for guided surgery to avoid planning complications
- Understand implementation of 3D printing for single units through hybrid restorations
- Understand the software and hardware requirements of digital workflows
