Description:

Digital technologies are transforming implant and restorative dentistry by enabling more precise, efficient, and predictable treatments. This lecture introduces a digital workflow that combines CBCT, intraoral scanning, facial data, and jaw motion tracking to support prosthetically driven implant planning. Special attention is given to intraoral Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which captures subgingival margins and microdefects beyond conventional scanners. Clinical cases and workflow comparisons will show how these innovations streamline procedures and enhance patient-centered outcomes.

 Learn: 

• the integrated use of CBCT, intraoral scans, and facial data to construct a digital patient model for precise implant diagnosis, planning, and treatment.
• to identify how intraoral OCT scanning contributes to enhanced detection of subgingival margins and structural defects, supporting improved precision in both implant and tooth restorations.
• applications of digital workflows in implant surgery, including bone regeneration planning, guided surgery, provisionalization, and mandibular tracking for dynamic occlusion management.
• how AI-assisted design and imaging technologies improve restorative fit, esthetic predictability, and long-term outcomes in both implant-supported and tooth restorations.
