Course Description

Traditional methods of creating restorations have been replaced by digital processes and are forever changed. The multiple technologies of CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning, laboratory scanning, 3D digital restorative design and CAD/CAM production have contributed to this trend.

This course will review how these technologies help streamline the implant restorative connection in single-tooth and partially edentulous. It will provide a comprehensive overview of evolving digital workflows with specific emphasis on implant dentistry. Clinical and laboratory protocols will be reviewed that focus on prosthetically driven processes that create precise and predictable treatment outcomes. A review and comparison of the conventional implant restorative workflow to one that implements digital technology will be explored. Please join us to learn what your future can hold with the flexibility and simplicity of the digital workflow!

At the completion of this course participants will be able to:

• Understand how to plan the entire single implant case from planning to final crown delivery. The workflow for scanning and merging with CBCT files to plan the fixture placement, CAD/CAM customhealing abutment, final abutment, temporary and core file.
• Understand the workflow for single tooth and edentulous cases.
• Understand the total digital workflow: Scanning and transmitting for patient specific abutments.
