Many doctors don't realize the full potential of their CEREC technology because they don't use it to its full capacity. Some feel they can only use CEREC for posterior teeth, and consequently they lose out on the opportunities offered by anterior CAD/CAM dentistry. In fact, with CEREC you can achieve esthetic results equivalent to high quality labs.

Prerequisites: Anterior Esthetics with CEREC (CL4) Required Where do I start?

CEREC goes beyond just single-tooth dentistry. This workshop is a natural extension of the "Anterior Esthetics with CEREC" workshop where participants will learn techniques for comprehensive cases including: how to perform virtual wax-ups, basic fundamentals of smile design and how to stage full mouth cases.

Prerequisites: Anterior Esthetics with CEREC (CL4) is Required.
Comprehensive Restorative Care with a Digital Workflow (CL5) is Recommended. Where do I start?

CEREC software has become more advanced and when coupled with additional software versions, it opens a whole realm of possibilities for individual clinicians. This workshop sets the foundation to execute more comprehensive digital workflows using a combination of the CEREC and inLab 20 CAD software.

This is not an introductory course and is recommended for advanced users.

This course will give you the experience to utilize the Dentsply Sirona Cone Beam CT (Axeos or Orthophos) for surgical planning of implants and will help you to understand the fundamentals of guided implant surgery. Intended for clinicians who are interested in, new to, or moderately experienced with implant therapy.

Prerequisites: Fundamentals of Guided Implant Surgery with Cone Beam (CI1) Where do I start?

The second workshop in the CDOCS implant curriculum will build upon the knowledge learned in the Fundamentals of Surgical Guided Implant Surgery workshop. This second workshop in the series will focus on more advanced treatment planning of multiunit and complex implant cases. Participants will learn the different techniques for fabricating surgical guides. Hands on exercises include implant placement in pig jaws to simulate a live environment. This second workshop is designed to give the participant a broader and deeper foundation of implant knowledge including all of the armamentarium that is needed to facilitate implant placement by the clinician.

Prerequisites: Previous implant placement experience recommended. Where do I start?

You attended the first two implant workshops in the CDOCS implant series and learned all there is to learn on how to treatment plan and place implants and create surgical guides. The Hard and Soft Tissue Grafting course will allow you to take your education further and learn more advanced techniques such as grafting and soft tissue development.

This is not an introductory course and is recommended for advanced users.
