The digital approach to the Implant rehabilitation of the aesthetic area

Digital dentistry is transforming daily practice. From intra-oral scanners and CBCT to CAD/CAM, 3D printing and artificial intelligence, new technologies are reshaping diagnosis and treatment planning, especially in the aesthetic zone. This session explores benefits, limits and the learning curve behind the digital shift.

Digital dentistry has become a reality in the daily dental work. New devices  as intra- and extra-oral scanners, CBCT scanners, CAD/CAM software and innovative fabrication procedures such as 3D printing and computerised milling machines have  totally changed the way we make the diagnosis, plan, communicate  and  treat our patients.

Recently the introduction of the artificial intelligence represents a further aid toward the full digital processes in daily practice.

All these devices are absolutely indispensable when we have to deal with the aesthetic zone as they can perfectly reproduce a virtual replica of the patient allowing a correct diagnosis and a precise treatment planning.

A  learning curve is anyway mandatory for a correct use of these extraordinary new technologies.

Trough the presentation of different clinical conditions,  the lecturers will show to the audience benefits and limits of this new approach to the dental profession opening a window to the next future.
