Abstract 

This interactive hands-on workshop is designed to give clinicians a complete, practical understanding of the chairside 3D printing workflow for veneers, onlays, and crowns. From the first digital scan to the final seated restoration, participants will experience every step of the process with guided, hands-on instruction and clinical insight.

We will walk through the entire A-to-Z workflow—starting with intraoral scanning, followed by digital design, 3D printing setup, post-processing, characterisation, and final delivery. At each stage, you’ll learn clinical tips and tricks to improve accuracy, efficiency, and predictability, enabling you to confidently implement same-day restorative solutions in your practice.

A special focus will be given to achieving high-end esthetic outcomes for veneers, where subtlety and detail matter most. Participants will observe and practice cutback techniques and staining protocols to enhance translucency, texture, and natural appearance. Different resin materials and their indications will be explored, helping you choose the best options for both provisional and long-term restorations.

We’ll also compare DLP, SLA, and LCD printing technologies, evaluate key parameters like print orientation and curing settings, and guide you through troubleshooting and optimisation strategies. Relevant literature will be discussed throughout the workshop to support clinical decision-making with evidence-based insights. Real case examples will illustrate how 3D printing offers design flexibility and time savings that go beyond traditional milling systems.

By the end of the workshop, you will have completed a full chairside workflow and gained practical skills to immediately apply in your clinic. Whether you’re new to digital dentistry or looking to elevate your current protocols, this hands-on experience will provide you with a repeatable, esthetic-driven workflow—from scan to smile.

Abstract

The finish line geometry and the surrounding tissue management have always been looked upon as major key factors to achieve a successful prosthetic rehabilitation. In the past years the author, slightly changing those two pillars, has set up a new clinical protocol made of 6 different steps easy to understand and to apply. It has been called “simplified” because each single phase (tooth prep, temp relining, final impression, technical part and cementation) is more user-friendly both for the clinicians and the dental technician. The whole workflow has become more efficient reducing time and costs.

Learning Objectives

• Demonstrate how to prepare a tooth using both an horizontal and a vertical finish line design
• Explain the technique to manage the soft tissue integrity while preparing the tooth
• Learn how to make a chair-side temporary
• Manage the relining and refining procedures for temporaries
• Learn the final impression techniques

Abstract

The ability to navigate the primary canal system channels to their endpoints using a root canal instrument, referred to as technical patency and glidepath creation, is recognized as the most crucial factor influencing a favorable periapical healing outcome in teeth with apical periodontitis. This might not hold true for teeth without apical periodontitis, where reaching canal endpoints is not essential and could even compromise periapical health. While a natural anatomical glide pathway is generally present in most human roots, its dimensions, content, geometry, and topography can pose challenges. Factors such as root canal curvatures, canal splitting, and calcifications introduce complexities that increase the risk of procedural accidents during the establishment of patency and creation of a consistent glidepath.

Common procedural issues, such as the inability to achieve patency to the apical third and asymmetrical dentine removal leading to transportation, ledging, perforation, and instrument fracture, can jeopardize the management of intraradicular infection, resulting in poor treatment outcomes in cases with apical periodontitis. In fact, curved, splitting, ledged, and constricted canals introduce such complexity that specialized instrumentation concepts have been introduced, and instruments have been designed specifically to address these challenges.

The course on root canal blockages will focus on the re-establishment of the lost glide path in cases of curvature/separation blockages, calcification blockages and ledge blockages.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the importance of technical patency and glidepath creation in root canal treatment, particularly in cases with apical periodontitis.
• Describe the challenges posed by curved, splitting, ledged, and constricted canals in root canal treatment.
• Explore specialized instrumentation concepts and instruments designed to address blockages and navigate complex root canal anatomy effectively.
• Learn techniques for re-establishing lost glide paths in cases of blockages to optimize treatment outcomes.
• Discuss the principles and techniques for different clinical scenarios through case-based discussions.

Abstract

Tooth extractions are the surgical procedure most frequently performed by the dentist. Piezoelectric technology simplifies this surgical practice for the clinician, since the luxation and extraction exploit ultrasonic vibration and not the force that is normally applied to the lever or forceps, instruments that piezoelectric extraction makes less attractive. The new inserts that allow less traumatic access to the element to be extracted will be analysed.

The aim of the course is to create a theoretical and practical path from clinical radiological diagnosis to intervention planning. The procedures to reduce the invasiveness of the surgical act and consequently the risks for the patient will be analysed.

Learning Objectives

• Identify and assess the clinical challenges associated with tooth extraction procedures.
• Highlight the benefits and advancements of piezoelectric technology in surgical applications.
• Demonstrate the clinical efficacy and precision of ultrasonic-powered instrumentation.
• Emphasize the critical role of accurate and transparent diagnostic imaging in treatment planning.
• Present a standardized, reproducible surgical protocol to enhance predictability and reduce procedural risk.
