Description:

Digital technologies are transforming implant and restorative dentistry by enabling clinicians to achieve greater precision, efficiency, and predictability throughout the treatment process. This lecture highlights a smarter, integrated digital workflow that brings together CBCT, intraoral scanning, facial data, and jaw motion tracking to support prosthetically driven implant planning and execution. Special attention will be given to intraoral Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), a breakthrough imaging technology that allows clinicians to visualize subgingival margins, fine cracks, and early caries—critical details often missed by conventional scanners. Through clinical case demonstrations and workflow comparisons, attendees will see how these innovations converge to streamline complex procedures and deliver better, patient-centered outcomes.

Learn:

• Explain how CBCT, intraoral scans, and facial data can be integrated into a digital patient model that supports precise diagnosis, planning, and prosthetically driven execution.
• Identify how intraoral OCT scanning enhances the detection of subgingival margins and structural defects, contributing to smarter restorative workflows and improved accuracy.
• Discuss the role of digital workflows in implant surgery, including applications in bone regeneration planning, guided surgery, provisionalization, and mandibular tracking for dynamic occlusion management.
• Evaluate how AI-assisted design and imaging technologies support more predictable restorative fit, esthetic excellence, and long-term clinical success.
