Description
The new generation of interdisciplinary software allows us to develop complete digital workflows, from facial analysis to 3D smile design, all the way to interdisciplinary planning and fabrication of all components, appliances, guides and restorations needed. The workflow creates a unique predictability and efficiency by digitally linking the initial mock-up to the provisionals and final restorations. This initial 3D project is also overlapped with Ortho 3D software, CAD/CAM, guided surgery, and orthognathic software, creating a realistic and precise interdisciplinary treatment all developed in one platform.
Another important highlight of this process is the impact on patient education and motivation drastically increasing case acceptance through visual communication and emotional link. This lecture will also cover the process of implementation of this technology and options according to the dental office business model.
Educational Objectives:
- Overview of the digital dentistry world. The equipment, software and technology available
- How to digitally design smiles. The interdisciplinary facially guided treatment plan in the digital world
- How to integrate this technology in your clinic and take advantage of this new era
