The Power of AI Is at our Fingertips: Introduction to Digital Dentistry

1.5 CE

This webinar offers a clear, actionable introduction to how AI is here to help clinicians ready to modernize their workflow.

Learn what it means to use AI based software with digital tools into your practice — from diagnostic radiographic interpretations, intraoral scanning and digital design to chairside milling. You’ll gain a practical understanding of how to approach digital dentistry.

Using real-world examples, we’ll explore how to select restorative materials based on case requirements and how to create same-day restorations with confidence.

Objectives:
  • Identify digital dentistry using AI and integration into dental practice
  • Demonstrate AI in diagnositic radiographic interpretation, intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM design software, and chairside milling
  • Compare the restorative material options for different clinical scenarios for CAD/CAM
  • Evaluate the benefits and clinical indications of in-house milling solutions
