97186 - The New Dental Technologies

Learning outcomes

Applied knowledge and understanding of the technical and technological bases of new digital systems. Students will also be able to further develop their learning and communication skills on the specific topic.

Course contents

Topics related to the use of new 3D technologies applied to the dental clinic will be discussed. Specifically, we will talk about software for the three-dimensional study of the clinical case, pre-surgical and pre-implant planning systems, static and dynamic computer-assisted surgery, CAD-CAM printing.
