Digital Workflows for Restoring Implants (Virtual Event)

This course is intended for those looking to learn and implement digital digital techniques for restoring dental implants (single-units and bridges). We will discuss intraoral scanning workflow using scan bodies, abutment selection, dental design software, and digital manufacturing techniques (3D printing and milling). Discussion of custom healing caps will also be included with workflows including from a virtual implant treatment plan, as well as from a scan body.

Specifically, 3Shape dental system will be used during the course as the design software - although the fundamentals could be applied to other dental softwares.
