Saturday: Differentiating your Practice with Digital Implant dentistry Workflows and Soft Tissue Esthetics
Guest Speaker – Farhad E. Boltchi, DMD, MS, Periodontist 

 

The digital revolution in dentistry is progressing rapidly. The translation of digital technologies into the clinical field of implant dentistry has resulted in new treatment modalities at the surgical and restorative level. This course will focus on the application of digital technologies in surgical and restorative implant dentistry, including digital scanners and cone beam CT scanners, and how the merging of CAD/CAM and CBCT data will culminate in a guided implant surgery technique and digital implant restorative techniques that can ultimately lead to an increased predictability and efficiency in dental implant therapy. In addition, this course will demonstrate how the application of periodontal plastic surgical procedures can enhance the esthetic results in standard, complex, and compromised dental implant cases.

 

 

Course Objectives:

 

  1. Demonstrate the benefits of a digital implant dentistry workflow

  2. Understand the advantages of guided implant surgery over current freehand techniques

  3. Outline a fully integrated digital workflow including digital implant planning, digital surgical guide fabrication, digital impressions via intraoral scanning, and digital fabrication of CAD/CAM implant restorations

  4. Understand how to enhance the soft tissue esthetic outcome around dental implants
