Course Descriptions and Objectives:
The future of treatment planning is the utilization of digital smile design with 3D integration to create a simulated roadmap of our interdisciplinary cases. Elements of digital smile design can be combined with anticipated orthodontic movement and pre-restorative surgery to fabricate a three-dimensional motivational mockup of our restorative plan. This technology enables us to effectively communicate our goals with our patients, labs, and specialists, increasing predictability and allowing us to begin with the end in mind.
Attendees will learn:

• How to utilize Digital Smile Design to properly formulate a treatment plan based on Facially Generated Treatment Planning principles.
• The incredible possibilities on the horizon utilizing the 3D integration capabilities in combination with the Digital Smile Design software to create 2D and 3D motivational mockups to aid in our treatment planning.
• How to utilize these elements to properly communicate the desired restorative outcomes to our patients, labs and specialists in an interdisciplinary cosmetic case.
