Description:

Digital dentistry evolves at an unprecedented pace, challenging many of the conventional restorative workflows clinicians rely on. This lecture explores how modern digital technologies, including intraoral scanning, facial scanning, AI-assisted design, cloud-based collaboration, photogrammetry, and advanced chairside manufacturing, redefine diagnosis, treatment planning, communication, and restorative execution. Special emphasis is placed on same-day chairside restorative workflows, demonstrating how AI-driven design, 3D printing, and digital manufacturing enable clinicians to deliver predictable direct and indirect restorations with greater efficiency and control. Through real-world clinical cases and practical workflows, participants learn how to identify outdated concepts, adopt more streamlined digital strategies, and confidently integrate next-generation technologies into everyday restorative practice.

Learn to:

• reecognize how emerging digital technologies and artificial intelligence are reshaping restorative dentistry and same-day chairside treatment workflows
• evaluate digital restorative workflows utilizing intraoral scanning, facial scanning, cloud collaboration, AI-assisted design, and chairside manufacturing to improve efficiency, accuracy, and predictability
• identify clinical indications for same-day chairside restorations and determine when digital workflows offer advantages over conventional restorative techniques
• develop practical strategies for implementing contemporary digital restorative workflows into daily clinical practice while avoiding common pitfalls and maximizing return on investment
