Single Tooth to Full Arch: Digital Workflow for Esthetic Implant Restorations

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Digital technology offers powerful tools in the armamentarium of clinicians providing implant rehabilitation in the esthetic zone for partially edentulous patients. Digital planning software for treatment planning, digital smile design, guided surgery modalities, digital impressions with intraoral scanners, and CAD/CAM production using 3D printers and milling units are now integrated to enhance treatment workflows. In this comprehensive presentation, end-to-end digital workflows will be showcased, including digital treatment planning (CDX, Smilecloud), implant placement (SIAB), and definitive CAD/CAM rehabilitation utilizing grammetry and photogrammetry in the anterior esthetic zone, as well as for more complex terminal dentition and full-arch rehabilitation cases.

OBJECTIVES:

After attending this presentation, the participants will be able to:

• Demonstrate step-by-step the treatment planning process that pertains to treat partially edentulous patients with missing/hopeless teeth in the anterior esthetic zone and terminaldentition full-arch rehabilitation.

• Understand the application of digital technology for the implant treatment in the anterior esthetic zone, including digital planning with co-diagnostix software and digital smile design with Smile Cloud software

• Illustrate the efficacy, scientific evidence and ROI benefits of digital workflow from single tooth to full-arch rehabilitation.

• Demonstrate step-by-step how to treat partially edentulous patients in the anterior esthetic zone as well as term

Taking CBCTs, Referral Scanning & Pain Management

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Patients see the Dentist for many reasons - routine care and pain management being the most common. Is there a place for dentists to be more than tooth fixers? The mouth is truly the window to the body.

Seeing dental /orofacial structures as separate entities from the rest of the body is now an ancient concept. In the interconnected world of oral- systemic relationships dentists play a crucial role in management of sleep breathing disorders. This course takes a bird’s eye view of sleep breathing disorders and painful temporomandibular disorders and the role of dentists in management of these fascinating conditions .

OBJECTIVES:

By the end of the class participants should be able to

• Elucidate sleep breathing disorders and TMDs

• Clarify management options
