Digital Dreams... Analog Realities. Mastering Modern Implantology
Time: 9:00 AM, September 12, 2026
Speaker: Dr. Armond Bedrossian
This 3-hour presentation bridges traditional analog principles with modern digital workflows in implant dentistry. Participants will explore tools like DICOM, STL files, and the importance of facially-generated treatment planning through photographs to enhance treatment planning and communication with labs. The course emphasizes tissue preservation over reconstruction, focusing on immediate placement and provisionalization strategies for aesthetic implant cases. The presentation will come around full-circle by finishing with a detailed overview of the various ways of digitally acquiring the implant positions for full-arch implant supported cases.
Learning objectives:
- Mastering the Digital Workflow in Implant Dentistry: Understand the step-by-step integration of DICOM, STL files, and facially generated photographs to streamline treatment planning and enhance case outcomes.
- Optimize Lab Communication and Material Selection: Understand the importance of managing soft tissues and collaborating with laboratories for abutment selection and emergence profile design.
- The evolution of full-arch implant cases: Understand the various methods of digitally acquiring the definitive implant positions, as well as material selection for full-arch implant supported prostheses.
