The course
The digital workflow, from scan to patient
Digital Dentistry is radically transforming the way of being a dentist. A real Digital Dentist needs to know the secrets that each work phase hides: from scanning to design, up to production and clinical application.
Through an innovative mathematical approach, Francesco Mangano guides participants to fully understand every phase of the #SCAN! #PLAN! #MAKE! #DONE! method, and the errors to avoid, to optimize clinical results and win the digital challenge.
Who it is for
Dentists and dental technicians who want to introduce or consolidate the digital workflow in the practice and in the laboratory, in a group of no more than 8 participants.
Topics
- Accuracy in 3D data acquisition: intraoral and face scanning, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), jaw motion tracking, augmented reality and artificial intelligence.
- Accuracy in 3D planning: design with CAD software in surgery, prosthodontics and orthodontics.
- Accuracy in the physical manufacturing of restorations and models: milling and 3D printing of resins and zirconia.
- Artificial intelligence, mixed reality and robotics.
Program
Unless otherwise stated, sessions are taught by Dr Francesco Mangano.
