New course
Intraoral Scanning and
CBCT Image Integration
for Oral Rehabilitation
and Guided Surgery
Advanced 12 hours on-line module
(8h Asynchronous + 4h Live)
Main Goal
This Training Program enables clinicians to integrate intraoral scans with CBCT data for diagnosis and treatment planning, and to design and produce accurate 3D‑printed surgical guides for oral rehabilitation and implant surgery, special endodontic, periodontic and surgical cases.
The course is presented in english as a 12‑hour blended online course:
- 8 hours on‑demand e‑learning, divided into 4 blocks of 2 hours each, focused on theory, clinical principles and recorded software workflows.
- 4 hours live online, in 2 blocks of 2 hours, focused on case discussion, interactive planning and troubleshooting of real workflows and supervised software exercises.
Detailed Program
| Asynchronous e‑learning modules (8 hours) | 1st Block (2h) Fundamentals of digital workflow, intraoral scanning and CBCT in oral rehabilitation and implant dentistry; indications, limitations and basic radiological and prosthetic concepts 2nd Block (2h) Data acquisition protocols for IO scans and CBCT (FOV, voxel size, artefacts, soft‑tissue management) and common sources of error and how to minimize them. 3rd Block (2h) Data integration: importing DICOM and STL files, registration strategies, and prosthetically driven 3D treatment planning for implants and complex rehabilitations. 2nd Block (2h) Design and 3D printing of surgical guides, including guide support types, sleeve positioning, material selection, printing parameters and quality control. |
| Live online sessions (4 hours) | 1st Live Session 1 (2h) Step‑by‑step walkthrough of a complete case (from IO scan and CBCT to virtual planning and guide design) with live questions. 2nd Live Session 2 (2h) (2 h): Advanced cases (full‑arch, edentulous, limited bone, complex anatomy), management of errors (mis‑registration, guide misfit, deviation), and creation of practical checklists for clinical implementation. |
Assessment and support materials
- Short pre‑ and post‑course knowledge checks based on images and mini‑cases to document learning outcomes.
- Downloadable training datasets (DICOM and STL), workflow flowcharts, parameter cheat‑sheets and access to recordings of the live sessions for later review.
