In the lecture, we will focus on the common uses of AI today in the field of dentistry – in CBCT and X-ray based diagnosis, visualization improvement, and creation of a “virtual patient” for digital treatment planning. AI-assisted diagnostic and visualisation modalities will be presented using real-life clinical cases.

Digital scanning in dentistry, also known as intraoral scanning, offers numerous benefits over traditional physical impressions and is a key component of the digital workflow in modern dental practice. Some of the advantages of digital scanning in dentistry include: Digital Dentistry allows dental practices to provide an accurate diagnosis to patients, while creating a treatment plan with absolute precision. The ability for patients and dentists to easily access digital records aids in keeping up-to-date records on past procedures. 

Patients are able to see exactly what is going on their mouths before any procedure is conducted. This makes them more comfortable and aware of what is happening to their teeth upon procedures such as fillings, implants, root canals, crowns, etc

Digital scanning will be discussed on the following topics 

• Improved Patient Comfort
• Speed and Efficiency
• Reduced cost on all levels
• Accuracy
• Real-Time Feedback
• Digital Record Keeping

Integration with CAD/CAM: Digital scans are seamlessly integrated into the CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) workflow. The data from scans can be used for designing and fabricating dental restorations and appliances with precision.

Digital scans support the creation of highly customized dental solutions.

• Eco-Friendly
• Teledentistry
• Improved communication and Diagnostic Capabilities
• Streamlined Workflow
• Making your world Simpler!

This lecture explores the interdisciplinary realm of biomechanics, investigating its connections to the principles of engineering, materials science, and biology. The aim is to leverage these principles for a better understanding, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and maximizing longevity through appropriate treatment planning tailored to individual patient scenarios.

In a world where technology is driving us towards a completely new reality, Dentistry is facing a bright shift towards Laser-Dentistry as well. Are you ready to treat your patients with light, without burs or contact? Ready to really become minimally invasive, perform bloodless surgeries, avoiding sutures and even anesthesia!? Are you prepared to clean disinfect root canals in 3-D, etc etc? This is not science fiction, this is happening now!

Given the rising popularity of minimally invasive dentistry, which is now considered the gold standard in contemporary dental practices, ensuring predictability in aligner therapy is essential for delivering stable, long-term treatment outcomes to patients. This lecture will illustrate how advancements in materials and software are enabling clinicians to meticulously plan, control, and execute predictable aligner treatments.

Endodontic file systems can perform better when paired with the correct endodontic motor. Recent data showed that files can cause ledging and lead to unwinding and even fracture when not operated at the correct angulation, acceleration, and speed. The new X-Smart Pro+ Endodontic Motor features a patented sensorless system that provides the optimal speed and torque feedback to enhance your clinical results.

With the evolution of resin we are now able to use flowable composites as predictably as packable composites. In this lecture we will discuss the breakthrough in universal shade matching. From simple class V restoration, to complex injection moulding cases, we will evaluate the new options available to us because of the unique properties of the material and also discuss practical tips, limitations and pitfalls.

Digital dentistry opened the door to so many clinicians to become actively involve in the design & manufacturing of dental appliances and prosthesis of they’re patients In the ever so changing world of digital dentistry where everything we do became faster and more accurate, we have to remind ourselves constantly that we are not only responsible to ensure the biocompatibility of the materials we use in our patients bodies, but also towards the health and safety in our working environment during the manufacturing process. Keeping this in mind I will highlight why I chose to invest in the Primeprint Solution from Dentsply Sirona and how I utilize 3D printing clinically in my practice.

In the dynamic realm of implant dentistry, the challenges posed by alveolar bone remodelling and the subsequent loss of interdental papilla are well recognized. Beyond aesthetic implications, these changes also present functional hurdles in phonetics. The preservation of the interdental papilla emerges as a critical aspect in modern implant dentistry, and our upcoming lecture promises to unveil groundbreaking approaches to address this concern. Focusing on the transformative capabilities of Straumann Co-Diagnostix, our presentation will showcase a comprehensive planning methodology—from tooth extraction to provisional placement—all within a single visit. This streamlined process not only ensures an ideal emergence profile but also maintains the elusive interdental papilla with unprecedented predictability. Through the lens of documented clinical cases, attendees will witness the efficacy of Co- Diagnostix in conjunction with the Straumann range, including 3 Shape, Straumann Roxolid, and Botiss. Our presentation delves into innovative techniques for digital papilla recreation in areas where it has been lost, utilizing soft tissue data to inform precise planning and subsequent clinical implementation. Furthermore, we introduce a novel approach involving the incorporation of a support structure for the papilla creation during implant placement. This strategic intervention, supported by clinical evidence, promises to revolutionize the standards of care in recreating the interdental papilla. Join us for an enlightening session where we navigate the realms of Co-Diagnostix and the Straumann range, unveiling a paradigm shift in implant dentistry and offering practical insights for enhanced patient outcomes.

Photography and videography through the microscope provide clinicians with real-time magnified views of the treatment area that can be used for patient education and communication to ensure optimal treatment planning and case acceptance. This presentation will show how to set up optimal patient communication using the Dental Operating Microscope (DOM).
