Session Description 
Photogrammetry: Photogrammetry has proven to be an acceptable impression method for full arch implant supported restorations. Although the digital process has simplified laboratory procedures the castless workflow has brought up some challenges including model verification and TiBase cementation. This presentation will describe clinical observations on the implementation and future use of photogrammetry in prosthodontic practice, with suggested points deserving research consideration.
Practicality of 3D Printing in Prosthodontics
Despite the narrative of “traditional vs. digital workflows” used frequently to promote the latter, contemporary dental workflows can combine the best of both. Digital technologies, in particular 3D printing, can simplify workflows and reduce the room for error and the amount of labor required. This results in time and cost savings for both the dental laboratory and clinician.
Accuracy of Implant Guided Surgery
Implant guided surgery has in the past 6-7 years become more of a routine in dental practice. This presentation summarizes the current research and technology associated with implant guided surgery including implant planning software, implant guide designs, and 3D printing. The discussion will focus on the current research in the accuracy and precision of static implant guided surgery as well as the future direction of research for implant guided surgery.

Learning Objectives
  • Understand implementation and future use of photogrammetry in prosthodontic practice, with suggested concepts deserving of research consideration.
  • Understanding how 3D printing can simplify workflows and reduce the room for error and the amount of labor required to produce the designed prosthesis. This can result in time and cost savings for both the dental laboratory and clinician.
  • Understanding the current research and technology associated with implant guided surgery including implant planning software, implant guide designs, and 3D printing with the resulting integration of surgery and prosthesis delivery.
