A Basis for Predictable Digital Implant Prosthodontics
Digital dentistry has been around for more than 20 years. Many have proven its capability of performing excellent quadrant dentistry and integrating it into their clinical workflows. The challenge, up to now, has been to predictably use digital dentistry for all implant prosthodontics, even the complex. Like all technology that is based on computer science, CAD CAM dentistry has been improving exponentially. Recent advances in scan accuracy, software development, 3-D printing, and material science have created a “technological nesting effect” which makes restoring even the most complex implant cases possible with a completely digital workflow.
Learning Objectives:
-
Define exponential dental technology
- The essential requirements of the digital scan and the criteria for being able to do more than just simple quadrant dentistry
- Defining a "situation scan" and its importance to predictably communicating final prosthetic design
- Identifying a repeatable clinical workflow based on digital technology that can be applied to most advanced implant cases
- 5 keys to successfully integrating digital technology into your dental implant practice
