Course Description:

The development of digital technology over the last decade has revolutionized modern day workflows in Dentistry. These advancements have expanded to include Diagnosis and Treatment Planning, Implant protocols involving the single tooth or full arch replacement and the entire spectrum of Restorative treatment solutions on both implant and natural tooth foundations. Digital Dentistry has improved the efficiencies and predictability of outcomes, reduced stress on the clinician and enhanced patient experience compared to its analog counterpart. The digital workflow may in some cases provide increased accuracy and reproducibility with complex treatment solutions. Photorealistic digital modelling of the patient provides a means to provide patient education, treatment forecasting and understanding of the complexities associated with treatment. Combined with volumetric radiographic data, patients and clinicians benefit from idealized restorative and surgical treatment outcomes in a shorter amount of time through the use of three-dimensional printing and milling of surgical guides and provisional restorations. Digital Colorimeters used in conjunction with photography provide improved shade match for restorations in the Aesthetic Zone.

This presentation aims to demonstrate some of the technology available to improve the clinician’s understanding of developments in digital Dentistry, overcome common barriers to integrating digital technology and discuss how this technology can improve the quality, predictability and efficiency of day to day practice.

Key Learning Objectives:

• To understand how digital workflows can optimize patient care and long-term outcomes
• To utilize digital technology in treatment planning, surgical, and restorative workflows
• To leverage digital technology to provide patient education and improve case acceptance
• To obtain practical, first-hand experience using intra-oral scanning technology

12:30 pm – 1:30 pm Registration, Lunch and Visit Sponsors

1:30 pm – 4:30 pm Workshop

Separate registration is required to attend the Morning Lecture

Course Description:

Predictable aesthetic outcomes in anterior implant dentistry depend on the accurate transfer of peri-implant soft tissue contours to the dental laboratory. This hands-on course provides clinicians with a practical, step-by-step approach to capturing the emergence profile and matured soft tissue architecture of an anterior implant restored with a provisional crown.

Participants will fabricate a customized impression coping and take a conventional open-tray impression using polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) material, with a focus on accurately recording tissue contours developed during healing and provisionalization. The clinical rationale for custom impressions in the anterior zone will be reviewed, emphasizing their role in achieving optimal aesthetics and restorative precision.

In addition, participants will capture a digital impression of the same implant site, allowing for direct comparison between conventional and digital techniques. This side-by-side evaluation will highlight the advantages, limitations, and clinical considerations of each method in aesthetically demanding implant cases.
