Every practice has 5% to 15% of patients who have severely damaged their dentition and would benefit from a mouth rehabilitation but cannot afford it, and we see them suffer […]
There has been a significant increase in the prevalence of dental implants. Despite the effectiveness of dental implants, there have been an increasing number of patients presenting with peri-implant bone loss. While the etiologies of peri-implant bone loss are multifactorial, a growing body of evidence suggests substantial connections between the state of peri-implant health and […]
Today our patients would rather stay healthy than wait for disease, and luckily dentistry is shifting toward earlier detection, prevention-first care, and conservative aesthetic decisions. This lecture presents a practical “Dentistry 2.0” framework that connects visual detection to risk-based prevention and improved case acceptance. Learn how to integrate supportive periodontal and remineralization therapies into everyday […]
The All-on-Digital® concept provides a fully digital workflow for the fabrication of full-arch implant-supported prostheses. This lecture will review the integration of photogrammetry with intraoral scanning (IOS) to capture and merge implant, soft-tissue, and restorative data for the design and fabrication of implant-supported full-arch restorations. Through lecture and clinical case presentations, participants will be guided […]
Digital dentistry has raised the bar for precision, efficiency, and patient-centered care. 2D and 3D smile simulations and digital wax-ups let clinicians visualize, plan, and execute treatment with exceptional clarity, streamlining workflow, reducing chair time, improving accuracy, and letting patients preview their results before treatment begins. Yet the pace of that change carries its own […]
