Workshop 1 Intraoral scanner in practice: fast, effective scanning, and utilization of 3D data in patient communication

Matej Jendrichovský (Thursday 3. 10.)
Abstract: Nurses are playing key role in dental clinics and their continuous education and training can significantly contribute to practice performance. Utilization of intraoral scanners will impact on improved practice workflow efficiency, achieving excellent clinical results, as well as elevated patient experience. During this practical workshop the attendees will explore the workflows of iTero intraoral scanners and the possibilities its tools open towards patient education and driving patient compliance. At the end of the workshop the attendees will have mastered the iTero scanning protocol, honed their scanning skills, and understand the function and benefits of the iTero proprietary tools suite.

Workshop 2 Typical errors in intraoral scanning

Mgr. Jiří Běl, Tomáš Stoček (Thursday 3. 10.)
Abstract: Some artefacts produced during intraoral scanning are not visible at first glance. Being able to recognize them during the scan, correct them, and send the correct digital impression is crucial to creating a treatment plan. This will help save you the potential and often unnecessary extra costs. During the workshop, we will focus on proper scanning technique, bite scanning, and most importantly, detecting artifacts with the ability to correct them.

Workshop I Manufacturing direct print aligners

Marc Koehler (11:00 Friday 4. 10. capacity is full, 14:00 registration is available).
Abstract: In this workshop, the processing of Graphy’s TC-85 material for direct print aligners is explained and described in detail. It is shown how the material is printed in a 3D printer and how the further processing, which differs from normal resin, works. Furthermore, the required hardware is also shown and the complete process is shown and explained. Due to the limited time, this workshop is not a Graphy certification course, but will help to understand how direct print aligners can be manufactured and how this process differs from thermoformed aligners.

Workshop II BASICS of working with a 3D model, preparation and printing

Ing. Jakub Podlucky (11:00 Friday 4. 10.)
Abstract: The workshop is intended for beginners in the field of 3D printing of models and production of foil braces directly in the doctor’s office. The participant will learn about the workflow of loading and segmenting 3D images from the scanner and working in the software for the design of orthodontic treatment. Subsequently, as part of the demonstration, the model will be prepared for printing and its realization incl. subsequent processing. The participant will therefore get a comprehensive idea of the entire process of creating their own foil braces. Concrete situations and their solutions will also be presented.

Workshop III Combining clear aligner technique and auxiliaries

Dr. Alessandro Mario Greco (14:00 Friday 4. 10.) – registration is closed due to full capacity).
Abstract: The use of aligners allows to simplify some common biomechanics but on the opposite side there
are some limitations that commonly requires the combination of auxiliary technique in order to
increase movement predictability. One of the most common situation can be represented by the
combination of auxiliaries for extraction space closure, impacted teeth, TADs hybrid
combination, molar mesialization. A schematic approach of the most common clinical conditions
will be described with proper material in order to widen the use of aligners in any kind of
malocclusion.

Workshop IV Ormco Spark

Dr. Inês Silva (16:00 Friday 4. 10., registration is closed due to full capacity)
Abstract: We will explore the new updates with Spark Approver and emphasis would also be laid on the collaborative approach of Spark Approver Software with CBCT and ORMCO Digital Bonding, as integral components in shaping the future of orthodontic practices. We will explore the innovative features, seamless integrations, and future plans.

Workshop V The CADCAM Workflow in Orthodontics

Dr. Seung-Woo Yoo (16:00 Friday 4. 10.)
Abstract: Digital technology in orthodontics enabled huge possibilities from laboratory work to orthodontic treatment methods. The CADCAM workflow in orthodontics makes it possible, to achieve fully customized appliances which meet the patient’s individual needs. For the CADCAM workflow an orthodontic software like OnyxCeph™ is needed. Furthermore, with an additional CAD software like Fusion 360 the limits of purely orthodontic software can be overcome and extends the possibility of digital orthodontics.
In this workshop the CADCAM workflow with OnyxCeph™ and Fusion 360 will be explained by some orthodontic appliances like RME, Herbst, MARA etc.

Workshop VI Fueling Invisalign Smile Architect^TM experience: innovative solutions for interdisciplinary ortho-restorative treatment planning

Dr. Camilla Molinari (11:00 Saturday 5. 10.)
Abstract: Modern dentistry is increasingly focused on a minimally invasive approach. We must always carefully evaluate the biological impact of the therapies we perform on our patients.
As techniques, technologies and materials evolve, we may be able to offer therapeutic solutions that respect the aesthetic, functional and structural integrity of the elements, starting from a good diagnosis.
So-called face-driven planning takes into account skeletal and morphological features in determining a proper orthodontic/prosthetic treatment plan that is in harmony with the patient’s facial features.
This assessment is all the more important in all those clinical cases with dento-dental and/or dento-basal discrepancies or in situations where we have to deal with shape and/ or size abnormalities (very frequent in maxillary lateral incisors).
Invisalign Smile Architect^TM is an innovative ortho-restorative treatment planning software.
This program enables dental teams to integrate clear aligner therapy into their multidisciplinary treatment plans, combining alignment teeth and prosthetic planning in a ‘single platform.
This new software is aimed at facilitating communication among colleagues in the dental team, as well as with laboratories, from an interdisciplinary treatment perspective.
During this lectur we will understand in detail the diagnostic-therapeutic potential of this feature in intedisciplinary treatments… and beyond!

Workshop VII Robotic forming of orthodontic retention wire

Mgr. Jiří Běl (11:00 Saturday 5. 10.)
Abstract: During this workshop, you can try out the whole process of making retention wire on the Bender II. From scanning through modelling to final production. This is an innovative solution that is becoming part of workflow of modern orthodontic practices.

Workshop VIII Benefits of the Align Digital Platform and iTero intraoral scanners in orthodontic practice

Matej Jendrichovsky (14:00 Saturday 5. 10.)
Abstract: During this practical workshop we will introduce the myiTero.com and Align™ Digital Platform (ADP) and its benefits for achieving excellent clinical results, improving practice workflow efficiency, as well as elevated patient experience. We will introduce the latest, groundbreaking Multi-direct Capture™ technology, discuss digital workflows of iTero intraoral scanners and the ADP, with all the possibilities these tools open towards patient education and driving patient compliance. A demonstration of useful tools like the Align™ Oral Health Suite, Invisalign^® Outcome Simulator and Invisalign^® Outcome Simulator Pro, iTero™ Occlusogram, iTero™ Time Lapse will follow, as well as showcasing the potential of iTero™ Near Infra-Red Technology in everyday orthodontic practice.
