Implant seminar on June 13th at Colonial Dental Lab

Course Description:

This program is limited to general dentists.

When considering digital workflows, we must consider replacing intraoral impressions with intraoral scanning and  laster with 3D printing. Total digital workflows are now a reality for almost all of our restorative and implant procedures. This course will teach how to replace impressions and plaster with 3D technology. It will cover single unit restorations and multidisciplinary cases.

It will review the concepts of digital wax-ups. It will teach how to properly capture intraoral scans of edentulous areas, capture CBCT images and merge those images together to develop a prosthetically driven plan for implant placement. Surgical guides and the surgically guided implant placement protocols will be reviewed as well as abutment design and fabrication. The course will start with simple cases and move to more challenging situations.

At the completion of this course participants will be able to understand:

• Criteria and concepts of intraoral scanning- STL files
• Basic chairside software concepts
• Clear aligner therapy concepts
• Digital wax-up- concept and utilization
• How to acquire CBCT images- DICOM files.
• Bone and soft tissue considerations when implant planning
• Concepts of guided surgical implant placement- why and how
• Merging of the intraoral images and CBCT images to develop a prosthetically driven implant plan
• Different ways to design and fabricate a surgical guide.
• Abutment design and considerations
• Tissue sculpting for creating emergence profile
