In our quest to provide clinically excellent dentistry, be profitable, enjoy our days in practice, and accomplish this as stress free as possible, we can utilize technology to make this achievable. This two-day lecture/workshop will merge the technology of intraoral scanning, cone beam computed technology, computer software, and 3D printing to scale your implant practice through guided surgery. Learn the ins and outs of the new DIRECTguide surgical kit, where to source your surgical guides, and how to implement it into your daily routine.
