The main objective of this course is to introduce new digital tools to aid the clinician in obtaining an optimal clinical outcome. Utilizing the face, lips, soft tissue and hard tissue, these tools allow you to show the patient what can be achieved, how to treatment plan the case and how to communicate this to the dental laboratory for a final restoration. Through technology, wonders can be achieved.

Educational Objectives:
• Utilize digital software to modify the face, lips, soft tissue, and hard tissue.
• Implement tools using technology to show a patient a visual preview prior to commencement of treatment.
• Outline how to treatment plan the case.
• Enhance communication between the office and dental laboratory technician to gain optimal patient outcomes.
