Abstract

Digital workflows have become indispensable for delivering predictable, efficient, and patient-centric care. “Design, Plan, Execute: Digital Implant Workflows for Every Case” offers a comprehensive exploration of end-to-end protocols, from initial data acquisition to final restoration, tailored to both simple and complex clinical scenarios. Attendees will discover how to use intraoral scanners and CBCT imaging to capture precise anatomical and soft-tissue data, integrate AI-driven smile-design software for aesthetic planning, and employ coDiagnostiX for guided-surgery planning. Through a series of clinical cases, ranging from single-tooth replacements to full-arch rehabilitations, participants will see how digital protocols enhance accuracy, reduce chair time, and elevate patient satisfaction. Practical tips for surpassing common challenges, optimizing lab communication, and leveraging automated workflows will empower clinicians to adopt these technologies with confidence.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Discuss the key stages and tools involved in a fully digital implant workflow, from data capture to final restoration.
• Explain how AI-driven smile-design and guided-surgery software integrate to enhance treatment planning accuracy.
• Demonstrate the step-by-step process of converting a digital plan into a 3D-printed surgical guide and provisional restoration.
• Analyze strategies to minimize chair time and laboratory turnaround through optimized digital communication.
• Apply evidence-based protocols to manage both routine and complex implant cases using advanced digital tools.
