Surgical and Restorative Steps for Single Implant Restoration from Start to Finish
16 CE Hours
Virtual planning, 3D printing, guided placement & restorations
Course Outline
This 2-day course is designed to provide dentists with a comprehensive understanding of the digital workflow for single implants. The course will cover topics such as CBCT imaging, virtual implant planning, 3D printing, guide fabrication, guided surgery protocols, intraoral scanning and scan bodies, and implant restorations. The program will be hands-on, practical, and evidence-based. Attendees will have the opportunity to practice virtual implant planning software, 3D printing, and intraoral scanning technology. The course will also include case discussions and analysis to reinforce the concepts covered. By the end of the course, dentists will be equipped with the necessary tools to incorporate digital technology into their implant practice.

We had a successful 2-day Hands-On Workshop last June 24-25, 2023! Thank you to everyone who participated in this course and thank you to Dentsply Sirona for making this happen!
We look forward to having this again in Vancouver next year!
