Digital Dental Technologies in Everyday Practice of Dentistry
In this lecture we will introduce the current common workflows using digital technology in everyday practice of dentistry. The applications of the technology particularly intra-oral scanners along with some clinical examples will be discussed. In addition to the commonly known impression for a wide range of restorations, the state-of-the-art technology facilitates diagnosis, management, treatment planning and monitoring for oral conditions, patient communications, design and fabrication of restorations and appliances. Manufacturing processes using reductive and additive strategies, namely milling and 3D printing will be introduced and discussed. Adhesive cementation workflow for the most common milled restorations will be discussed.
Learning Objectives
Become familiar with digital workflow in restorative dentistry
Learn about current scanning and manufacturing technologies
Review adhesive cementation protocols for milled restorations
