Digital Workflows in Physiologic Dentistry

The analog workflows of physiologic dentistry have been developed and refined to a high level of predictability and success in the last decade. Now, with the scope of digital dentistry tools available to us, we have an opportunity to improve our accuracy, efficiency, and overall success even more, decreasing the time and costs involved in completing a case.

This course is designed to teach the components and workflows of a complete physiologic case…start to finish. From initial scans, through Phase I and Phase II, to porcelain cementation. We will discuss and illustrate how each analog step is translated into digital workflows. The course modularizes each step in the well-established physiologic case protocol so that participants can selectively implement digitization of the process in their offices at their own experience and comfort level, and in consideration of the digital technology they currently have on hand.

 

We will cover intra-oral scanning, the full scope of 3D printing, digital bite transfers, digital stabilization splint design, reduction guides, bite registration techniques, joint decompression appliances, digital orthotic design, and more.

The Objectives of this course are for the participant to be able to:

• • Digitally scan a physiologic bite.
  • Digitally design a Stabilization Splint for 3D Printing
  • Discuss the principles of digitally designing a fixed orthotic
  • Complete a digital physiologic bite transfer of an existing orthotic
  • Discuss additive manufacturing concepts associated with 3D printing for orthotics, stabilization splints, and temporaries.
  • Merge Intra-Oral Scans in design software to better prepare for full-mouth, full-arch, or veneer preparation.
