The Positive Impact of Digital Dentistry on Materials and Restorative Workflows
Today’s digital intraoral scanners provide high-precision digital impressions of the patient’s mouth without the need for traditional impressions while improving the patient experience. By exporting digital files to advanced AI software, the clinician can achieve better diagnostics and treatment planning, a more successful restorative workflow, and accelerated profitability growth potential.
Learning Objectives:
-
Enhance knowledge of intraoral scanning technology and applications, including study models, orthodontics, implants, removable appliances, and restorative and cosmetic dentistry.
-
Drive successful clinical outcomes by understanding the guidelines for tooth preparation and restorative material applications.
-
Save valuable clinical time by maximizing the precision benefits of restorative digital workflows.

State-of-the-art treatment planning for full arch implant reconstruction
Full arch implant reconstruction – also known as All-on-X – is the process of creating a whole new smile using 4-6 dental implants. If planned and executed correctly, the result creates a beautiful and strong smile that resembles natural teeth. Improper treatment planning, however, can lead to a disastrous outcome. In this lecture, Dr. Al-Faraje will cover all of the necessary steps in the treatment planning process that will prevent possible complications and ensure a successful and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
Topics include:
-
Collecting complete diagnostic data
-
CT scan analysis for full arch implant therapy
-
Smile analysis
-
Surgical options
-
Transferring the treatment plan onto the surgical field using digital workflow
-
Options for the provisional prostheses
-
Options for the permanent prostheses
