“From Elastomeric Impressions to Digital Replication, It’s a Scanning Wand, not a Magic Wand”

Effective interdisciplinary planning and communication between clinicians optimises outcomes and maximises the efficiency of treatment. But how can an effective collaboration between orthodontics and prosthodontics achieved? In this lecture, we will discuss the advantages of combined treatment and how it allows us to achieve the best possible aesthetic and functional outcomes. The lectures will provide practical and case-illustrated advice to demonstrate clinically proven techniques that lead to success.

The digital workflow using the COS and how it differs from conventional techniques are discussed in detail. Professional quality technique videos will support the understanding of the scanning procedures. The Clinician will illustrate the fundamentals of indirect restorations with particular emphasis on techniques enabling the operator to obtain excellent results, regardless of the impression system used.
