AGD Subject Code: 730

​

Description:

It is well demonstrated by the literature that around 70% of the failures in dental therapy are related to errors in diagnosis and treatment planning. The introduction of digital devices in dental practice and their continuous improvement is an important help for the clinician to make the best clinical decision for every single patient, reducing the risk of complications. 

 

A collection of digital data from Facial and Intraoral Scanners, CBCT and other sources inserted in powerful software, gives the clinician the complete avatar of the patient which can be investigated layer by layer offering reliable images for the best diagnosis.

 

The advancement of device’s potential has made it possible to use a complete digital workflow for most implant rehabilitation treatments. However, various errors can be collected during the different digital steps which can lead to difficulties in clinical applications. It is important to know all the benefits and limits of the single devices for a proper use of them. A large presentation of clinical cases and their follow up will offer to the audience a clear motivation on how today the digital technologies can make the dental treatments safer and more predictable.
