IMPD 608 Digital Laboratory Technology
This course emphasizes the practical application of digital technology to provide laboratory support for the implant practice. This course teaches an understanding of the practical application of CAD/CAM technology to digitize the pre-surgical and restorative workflow. Residents will utilize three-dimensional imaging to design a variety of pre-operative models and surgical guides. This includes pre-operative stereolithic models, scan appliances, surgical guides, provisional and final restorations. Three dimensional printers will be used to fabricate these models and guides. Residents will scan, design, and mill provisional and final crown and bridge restorations.
