Course breakdown

This full-day event bridges traditional analog principles with modern digital workflows in implant dentistry. Led by Dr. Armand Bedrossian, participants will explore tools like DICOM, STL files, and facially generated photographs to enhance treatment planning and communication with labs. The course emphasizes tissue preservation over reconstruction, focusing on immediate provisional strategies for aesthetic cases. Attendees will gain both technical and practical insights, with content tailored to benefit dentists, hygienists, assistants, and students. Through real-world case studies and examples, participants will leave equipped to apply digital workflows, material selection strategies, and lab communication techniques directly in their practice to improve patient outcomes and teamwork.

Learning Objectives:

  • Master the Digital Workflow in Implant Dentistry: Understand the step-by-step integration of DICOM, STL files, and facially generated photographs to streamline treatment planning and enhance case outcomes.
  • Optimize Lab Communication and Material Selection: Develop skills for effective collaboration with labs, focusing on abutment selection, emergence profile design, and material coordination for seamless restorations.
  • Apply Immediate Therapy Techniques in Aesthetic Zones: Learn strategies for immediate provisional restorations, ensuring optimal tissue preservation and patient satisfaction in visually critical areas.
  • Leverage CAD-CAM and Photogrammetry for Full-Arch Cases: Gain expertise in full-arch case planning using advanced CAD-CAM workflows and photogrammetry to increase precision and efficiency.
