Description:
Digital dentistry is no longer optional, it’s essential. As digital tools become more accessible and user-friendly, dentists have a unique opportunity to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment outcomes, and patient experience through seamless integration into everyday practice. This course will explore practical, evidence-based applications of digital workflows in restorative dentistry, including intraoral scanning, digital treatment planning, chairside fabrication, 3D printing, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Through clinical case examples, workflow breakdowns, and useful pearls, Dr. Gebril will demonstrate how to apply digital tools strategically to enhance efficiency, predictability, and patient satisfaction. Whether you’re new to digital dentistry or looking to optimize your current approach, this course will provide practical solutions you can implement immediately.
