In this full day hands on session you will be learning how to improve the predictability and improve your efficiencies in the delivery of indirect restorations using a digital workflow. The day is aimed at all clinicians whether already using digital dentistry or looking to get into digital dentistry.
We will cover how to get the most out of your scan workflows, and how to improve efficiency and predictability with correct material choices. By being aware of the pitfalls and the tricks to improve our workflows we can save time and generate higher revenue.
Content Includes:
- Getting the most out of scanners
- How to increase patient motivation and treatment uptake through digital dentistry
- Improving your clinical efficiency with digital workflows
- Lab Communication
- Latest indirect material options
- Stress Free Cementation using bespoke Carrier
- Robust Digital Recording for Indemnity Purposes
6 hours CPD
Learning Objectives :
- Simple Indirect Restorations. Understand the digital workflow for simple and small unit indirect restorations. Looking at tips and tricks in how to use your scanner to maximise your clinical outcomes for the best results.
- Digital smile design. Use technology to help your patients visualise their wishes from the first appointment, and engage them in decision making to increase case acceptance. We will cover 2D and 3D options.
- Trial smiles. Litigation from veneer treatments / smile designs is one of the highest risk areas. Understanding the importance of the trial smile is an absolute essential in gaining full patient consent and have an understanding of what is possible, and what works. Learn how you can identify problems before they arise, and how to make your treatment more robust and more indemnifiable through ethical dentistry.
- Prep and temporisation. Minimal preparation should be adhered to at all times. By using robust digital workflows, it is possible to deliver indirect restorations as thin as 0.2mm for outstanding results. In this section you will learn the prep techniques required to help you deliver minimal preparation dentistry.
- Lab Communication and Restoration Production. By using digital technology we can relay the exact information to the lab for restoration design, ensuring that what the patient has approved is delivered.
- Restoration Materials - We will cover the innovative Ceramir CAD blocks, which deliver outstanding results for our patients thanks to the latest advances in dental material technology.
- Stress free multiple veneer cementation. Through the use of our bespoke AccuFit carrier system, you can deliver up to 10 veneers in one go reducing time and stress significantly. Topics covered will be cementing protocols for different materials, carrier delivery and finishing.
- Robust digital records. Through the clever use of technology you can make records of your work which will demonstrate ethical and complaint smile design delivery. This is used for post treatment patient management, giving the patient ownership of any problems and helping to combat any litigation issues.
Aims and Goals:
