Dental CE Course: Digital Implant Treatment Planning Workshop

CBCT and implant planning software provide tremendous diagnostic and treatment planning tools. Working in a 3-D environment allows for the critical anatomy to be identified and implants to be placed in ideal positions from surgical and prosthetic perspectives. The digital plan can then be transferred to the clinical setting through the use of a surgical guide. In this interactive workshop, cases ranging from a single tooth to fully edentulous arches will be reviewed and virtually designed through group discussion.

Course Objectives

After completing this course, the dental professional should be able to:

- Understand proper case work-up for digital treatment planning and guided surgery cases.

- Understand surgical guide options and procedures.
- Understand the indications, limitations and how to avoid potential pitfalls utilizing digital treatment planning and guided surgery.
