Course Title: Digital Implants: utilizing the full value of digital workflows in implant planning, surgery, and restoration

Speaker: Zachary Evans

Speaker Biography/Conflicts of Interest: Zach grew up in North Augusta, SC and completed his PhD in Biomedical Science, dental training, and residency in periodontics at the Medical University of South Carolina, and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. Zach served as Assistant Professor in the MUSC Department of Stomatology, Division of Periodontics and was director of the Master of Science in Dentistry program. He is currently in full time perio practice in North Carolina but continues to lecture on the incorporation of digital systems into surgical and implant practice. 

Session Description: Digital workflows can simplify and improve implant surgical and restorative outcomes. This results in reduced chair-time, increased profitability, and improved precision with implant treatment. This lecture will review strategies from start to finish of the entire implant process for diagnostics, case planning, production of surgical guides, and digital options for restoration.

Educational Objectives:

• Walk through the entire process from initial consultation to final restoration and postoperative implant maintenance utilizing digital technology.  
• Review the value of CBCT and how to utilize these 3D images to the fullest extent for implant planning.  
• Understand the rationale for guided implant surgery and review the process for virtual implant planning and surgical guide design and fabrication. 
• Consider the potential processes for digital impressions and in-house and lab-driven implant restorations. 
• Review the processes to 3D print surgical guides and temporary and permanent implant restorations in-house.
