Step Into Digital Dentistry: A Hands-On Introduction to Single-Crown Restorations
About This Event
This course offers an approachable, evidence-based introduction to digital dentistry for clinicians integrating digital tools into everyday care. Through focused lectures, live demonstrations, and guided hands-on practice, participants learn fundamentals of a digital restorative workflow: intraoral scanning and data evaluation, CAD design, and chairside milling. The didactic portion introduces scanning principles, accuracy considerations, and material options for digitally fabricated restorations. The hands-on segment allows participants to perform digital impressions with state-of-the-art intraoral scanners, evaluate scan quality, and observe the design and milling of a single-unit restoration in real time. The small-group format builds practical confidence and understanding for first-time users of digital dentistry tools.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the main components and sequential steps of a digital CAD/CAM workflow.
- Perform intraoral scans and assess digital impression quality.
- Observe the integration of digital design and chairside milling.
- Compare restorative material options for various clinical scenarios.
