Fabricating traditional acrylic dentures has not advanced appreciably in decades. This time-consuming procedure requires multiple appointments and a trusted lab technician to perform many steps manually. Unfortunately, the potential for inaccuracies during the treatment process can lead to a less than desirable result for the patient, decreased productivity for the practice, and as a result may contribute to a less than ideal experience for both the patient and doctor. Digital dentures offer a simpler workflow for the dentist, reducing lead time drastically, and enhancing the patient experience. This webinar will showcase a wide range of clinical cases that demonstrate oral rehabilitation and bring into focus how the digital workflow can help facilitate the process.
After completion of this course, you will be able to:
– Evaluate the digital denture workflow from initial scan to final delivery.
– Compare different case studies demonstrating the refabrication of dentures, implant supported overdentures and other removable dentures. Examine current denture materials, fabrication techniques and denture fabrication.
– Review the scan protocols to complete the records with the iTero ElementTM scanner to send to the lab from scanning the edentulous areas to the existing denture.
– Formulate a plan for using the iTero ElementTM scanner as your oral rehabilitation partner.
