Modern Polymer Solutions for Indirect Digital Restorations
The restorative dentist is provided with a great number of digital tools. The real challenge is to be trained to combine digital information arising from radiographic evaluation like CBCTs, intraoral scanning files, virtual libraries and image manipulation softwares. Digital technology has provided us with the tools needed create virtual representations of the desired outcome for our restorations. This can be applied to many fields, including implant dentistry, prosthodontics and restorative dentistry. Outcome driven restorations is a new concept that allows the dentist and the patient to visualize the final restorative outcome ahead of time. When this outcome is acceptable it can be transferred to the patient for a 3D representation (mock up). Modern polymer and hybrid materials provide us with solutions for many types of restorations like onlays, endocrowns, veneers as well as implant supported restorations. Different marketing strategies for the integration of such restorations in any clinical practice, will be presented throughout the lecture.
Learning objectives
- To interpret the images taken with CBCT and scanning devices
- To be able to combine data and files deriving from various digital sources
- To recommend to the team of experts the best treatment strategy
- To be able to predict and design virtually the proposed treatment outcome
- To be able to provide to the patient clinical representations of the proposed treatment
Outcome Driven Restorations - going from Z to A: Combining Digital Workflows with Clinical Skills
State of the Art IOS technology, as well as a great number of digital tools and techniques, enable us to provide our patients with faster and more controlled treatment planning.
Digital Technology allows us to create virtual representations of the desired outcome of our restorations. This can be applied to many fields including Implant Dentistry, Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry.
Outcome driven restorations is a new concept that allows the dentist and the patient to visualise the final restorative outcome ahead of time. When this virtual outcome is acceptable it can be transferred to the patient for a 3D representation (mock up) and then reproduced to the final restoration.
The creation of a team of experts including digital technicians and similarly trained specialists and the ability of this team to communicate in real time, can lead to outstanding restorative outcomes.
Learning objectives
- To be able to use digital technology for accurate treatment planning
- To use digital technology in order to visualize the final outcome
- To be able to create realistic representations of the proposed treatment for patients approval
