Live Welcome
Host welcome to the webinar and introducing the key topics we’ll cover.
What You Will Learn
- Transition from 2D to fully integrated 3D smile design
- Improve case predictability with intraoral, facial, and
bite data - Combine aligners and veneers for minimally invasive treatment
- Choose the right materials: composite, ceramic, or zirconia
- Apply the FIT injection moulding technique in daily practice
- Increase patient acceptance using 3D visualisation
Why This Matters
Traditional 2D planning has limitations. It flattens the dental arch, ignores functional aspects, and often leads to mismatches between design and final result.
With 3D smile design, you work with real patient data, resulting in:
- More accurate treatment planning
- Fewer adjustments
- Higher patient satisfaction
During the presentation, we will cover:
The Align & Restore treatment concept:
A strategic and conservative approach aimed at preserving natural tooth structure
Shade Selection & Opacity Mastery:
Learn how accurate shade analysis and choosing the right level of opacity are key to achieving lifelike and predictable results even in discolored or complex cases.
Material Selection: Composite vs Ceramic
Understand when to choose composite and when ceramic materials are more appropriate based on case specific needs.
Photo and Face Scan Protocol
Explore the step by step photography and facial scanning workflow crucial for a patient centered and diagnostically guided aesthetic treatment.
Facial Driven Virtual Design
Discover how to translate digital smile simulations into clinical reality, enabling a facially driven treatment plan.
