Digital Innovation Symposium

Earn up to 12 hours of continuing education credit

Over the past decade, digital dentistry has emerged as a major disruptor. Digital innovation has changed almost everything in dentistry – from intraoral scanning, to in-office restoration and prosthetic fabrication, to dental laboratory workflow, to implant dentistry.

This first Digital Innovation Symposium from the MUSC James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine aims to:
1. Explain the concept and advantages of same-day dentistry, including the integration of CAD/CAM systems, digital impressions, and in-office milling techniques.
2. Understand the principles and benefits of intraoral scanning, including the acquisition of accurate digital impressions and their integration into digital workflows.
3. Comprehend the treatment planning process for implant guided surgery, utilizing digital software and surgical guides for precise and predictable implant placement.
4. Recognize the potential of 3D printing technologies in dentistry, including the fabrication of surgical guides, models, and custom dental prostheses.
5. Provide an understanding of how to leverage digital dentistry to achieve more predictable outcomes in the clinic, considering factors such as improved accuracy, efficiency, and patient satisfaction.

The Digital Innovation Symposium is geared toward practicing dentists and resident dentists.
