“DIGITAL WORKFLOW IN ZIRCONIA IMPLANT DENTISTRY: THE FUTURE IS HERE” – 2020 EACim congress
Lecture Abstract:
Digital dentistry and zirconia implants are the buzzwords in modern dental science. In recent years, however, increasing patient demand for more natural aesthetics has seen ceramic materials like zirconia become a popular alternative. Also, dentistry is moving to the virtual world due to the growing technological advancement and affordability. Its usage in Implant dentistry is having a huge impact by making life better for practitioners as well as patients.
The aim of this presentation is to introduce the attendees to the zirconia implants and concept of total digital workflow interpreted as a protocol in which every new consideration about diagnosis, treatment plan, and development of zirconia implant treatment can be conducted by a digital resource.
From Cone beam CT to accurate guided surgery helped by intraoral scanners to digital 3D smile design and spectrophotometric teeth colour determination from making digital implant impressions to CAD designs and CAM productions by using 3d printers or millings machines ; today it is more likely to have 100% digital workflows in some of our daily treatments. This presentation will detail the possibilities and current limitations of these cutting edge technologies in implant dentistry.
