  • The Limitless Power of Digital Dentistry: From Single Tooth to Full Arch
    Ahmed Sabbah DDS PhD, Francisco Recinos DDS
    Digital dentistry is the foundation of modern treatment planning. Once the ideal smile is created, the case is reverse engineered to achieve the results through guided implementation and communication. CAD software allow merger of facial data, STLs and CBCTs to create the virtual patient. The interdisciplinary team and patient can discuss implementation to deliver patient centered results. 3D printing has unlocked the potential to translate plans clinically and allow the execution of biomimetic and guided dentistry. Printed mock-ups, crowns and provisionals are used during the “test drive” phase. Printed overlays allow minimally invasive dentistry. Printed prototypes help us decide between FP1 VS FP3 prosthesis and printed guides facilitate restoratively driven fashion implant placement. Printed provisonals can then be used for lab communication and conversion to the final milled prosthesis. Digital dentistry has allowed us to deliver person centered care by unlocking our full potential. In this course we discuss the following:

  • Introduce the digital cycle in the modern dental practice
  • Introduce digital smile design
  • Discuss interdisciplinary digital treatment panning and available software
  • Discuss treatment plan presentation and criteria for the mock-up phase
  • Introduce 3D printing and applications in modern dentistry
  • Demonstrate 3D printing of permanent ceramic infiltrated crowns and veneers
  • Discuss digital workflows in worn dentition patients
  • Discuss digital workflow for the edentulous patient
  • Discuss guided implant placement in FP1 and FP3 cases
  • Discuss implant provisionals form single tooth to full arch
  • Discuss restoration of FP1 and FP3 cases
  • Discuss digital lab communication
  • Introduce vonlays for biomimetic adhesive dentistry
  • Discuss milling applications in dentistry
