Title: The impact of digital technology in your practice – a better way to deliver oral health care
Presenter: Dr. Sonia Leziy
Abstract: Periodontal practice is being shaped by technology with various levels of digital technology penetrating the average practice. This presentation will explore how scanning innovations and digital concepts are shaping our skills and
treatment planning solutions, underscoring the importance of adopting a digital philosophy in both conventional periodontal and implant surgical therapies. Concepts that will be reviewed include collaborative virtual surgical planning for teeth
and implants and guided surgery/provisional treatment using a stream lined workflow. Implementation of this workflow will be discussed, along with strategies to implement a time efficient collaborative protocol, an overview on how this has reduced
our post-treatment failures and complications, while underscoring the importance of experience and analog concepts and methods. Coupled with this, this presentation will highlight how this leads to more accurate treatment execution, often with minimally
invasive surgical procedures, reducing complications for the restoring dentist and producing better patient experiences.
Learning Objectives:
1. Define how we effectively collaborate between surgical,
restorative and laboratory disciplines in the digital workflow.
2. Case illustrations - the applications of digital concepts as they relate to periodontal monitoring, planning and treatment, as well as in implant dentistry.
3. Discuss the impact on practice efficiency and finances, quality of care, reduced practitioner stress, practice profile and patient views on perceived treatment quality and professionalism.
