In-House Guided Implant Surgery and Restoration:
CBCT, Software, 3d Printers and Intraoral Scanners
The purpose of this course is to provide the participants the basic theoretical as well as practical knowledge of guided implantology with the use of CAD/CAM splints and restorations that can be designed and 3d printed by the dentist himself in his practice.
The course is aimed at the clinician who wants to start using guided implantology and has decided to invest in digital technology.
At the end of the course the participants will:
- Be able to refer patients for a CBCT exam with appropriate instructions for each different case (partial dentition, edentulous cases).
- Have understood the various file types used in guided implantology (Dicom, STL) as also in 3d printing.
- Be able to use the simple CBCT viewer to design cases but also understand the difference between the viewer and the specialized software.
- Have been introduced to and will have used the specialized software for the design of implant placement, the manufacturing of the splint and the design of the immediate restoration on the implant (Blueskyplan, 3Shape Trios Design Studio).
- Have been trained in the basic principles of printing both surgical guides and restorations using 3d printers, by themselves, in their practice.
- Have come in direct contact with 3d printers (Formlabs 3B+, Ackuretta Dentiq).
- Have practiced on both software implant placement and surgical splint design (Blueskyplan) in addition to the design of the restoration on the implant (3ShapeTrios Design Studio).
- Have practiced 3d printing of surgical splints (Formlabs 3B+) and immediate restorations on implants (Ackuretta Dentiq).
- Have acquired in depth knowledge of the capabilities of the current technology after the presentation of a multitude of cases that have taken place in our clinics.
- Have been trained in digital imaging using an intraoral scanner 3Shape Trios.
