Night Guards, Deprogrammers & Splints - 3Shape Digital Workflow

#digital technology has changed the way we practice #dentistry. It has raised our clinical skills and standards, made work more fun, and raised the value of dentistry in our patients' eyes. #intraoralscanner use, #design, type of #nightguard, chair side #milling, and #3dprinting provides tremendous improvements in speed, accuracy, efficiency, and quality. It has also created possibilities for increased revenue and decreased costs. However, #digitaldentistry also comes with new challenges, unique learning curves, and varying opinions regarding design and final outcome of restorations and appliances. In this video, I will focus on different types of appliances and their indications and design to help the clinician develop a simple step-by-step approach to diagnosis, treatment planning, and appliance design for various types of para-functional conditions utilizing the #3shape #Trios intra-oral scanner, 3Shape Splint Studio, and the #formlabs #3Dprinter.
