About this Event

Advanced techniques in smile design with Ben Laroche
(8 scientific CE credits available)

Pre-Requisite: intermediate to advanced experience using exocad or other CAD/CAM dental design software.

Integrated into the DentalCAD platform, Smile Creator with automatic AI cloud photo matching (TruSmile Photo) and TruSmile Video empowers you to reliably create prosthetically feasible smile designs.

In this course you will learn how to combine patient photos or face scans with intra oral jaw scans, design a tooth setup, and create beautiful realistic TruSmile Video and photos for patient and dentist evaluation of potential outcomes. This is a workflow that can be useful for many types of complex cases, such as full-mouth restorations, dental implants, or cosmetic enhancements, as it allows both the dentist and the patient to preview the proposed changes, make any necessary adjustments before treatment begins, as well as create predictable final restoration results.

A digital wax up model in combination with your smile design, reduces chair time. Increased accuracy, clearer communication and planning, and simple adjustments allow you to accurately reproduce your designs.

Course Objectives:

In this course, participants will learn to:

1. capture 2D patient images for efficient smile design

2. set up orders and import photos, face scans and intra oral scans

3. use the Smile Creator modeling tools to create tooth setups

4. generate complete smile reports for doctor and patient review

5. create a TruSmile Video to view the proposal with life-like realism

6. design provisionals and provisional model from Smile Creator feature

7. convert your smile design to final restorations

8. understand material selections in DentalCAD and how to output for various milling and printing options

9. incorporate the virtual articulator with both manual and automatic options
