Digital dentistry has redefined how clinicians diagnose, plan, and deliver restorative care. This course will demonstrate how modern digital workflows anchored in intraoral scanning and digital treatment planning, enable earlier diagnosis, more conservative treatment, and highly predictable outcomes. A key component of this program is a hands-on anterior composite bonding exercise, where attendees will apply digital principles to restorative execution via a customized 3D-printed matrix.
