Abstract

Why go digital? It makes everything easier! Learn how integrating digital technology into every step of your clinical workflow and implant practice can enhance the patient experience. A digital workflow can help deliver predictable, quality dentistry, improve office efficiency and productivity, and leave a positive impression on your dental implant patients. Diagnosis, CBCT-scan planning, digital impressions, and treatment sequencing for implant patients can become seamless and predictable. It is true that the advent of new technologies has enabled the dental team to use new material and new equipment that facilitated the production of an adaptation and an accuracy of the prosthetic rehabilitation that has, up to now, been difficult to obtain. Today, intra-oral scanning technology is one of the most exciting new areas in dentistry since three-dimensional scanning of the mouth is required for a large number of procedures such as prosthodontics, implant dentistry and orthodontics. All the existing intra-oral scanning technology is being developed and implemented at a high pace because of the advantages over traditional impression techniques including speed, accuracy, and digital transmission to face the limitations and the disadvantages of the traditional impression procedure maintaining an high accuracy level in order to be used as an efficacious alternative to the conventional impression technique. The Agnini Brothers will analyze different cases, highlighting the operational differences that they have developed over time, with the increasing knowledge of the new materials and the daily developing of the new softwares. They will also explain how superior results are being achieved in less time by implementing new technologies.
