In today’s world, there is a plethora of information available at any time to anyone with access to Google or any of the many search engines on the internet. However, as most people know, the abundant information is often incomplete, inaccurate, or even completely wrong. The information related to the field of dentistry on the internet, in print media, and on television is the same – incomplete, inaccurate, or even completely wrong. You, as a dentist, know this – and your patients and potential patients know this as well. There are millions of people searching for answers to their dental problems and concerns from a resource they can trust. So, if the internet isn’t that trusted resource – what is? It could be, and it should be YOU.

Dental technology is advancing at a pace that is difficult for dental professionals to keep up with. CBCT scanners and computer guided surgery has existed for well over a decade, yet there are few offices utilizing these proven resources. Why are these tools being overlooked or ignored by the majority of dentists? This CE course will demystify the barriers of adopting 3D technology and provide a process for incorporating a more efficient and predictable implant practice.

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to achieve the following:
• Understand the misconceptions surrounding computer guided surgery.
• How they can have complete control over the entire implant treatment modality, from the fixture location, to the abutment position, and to the final restoration.
• Appreciate the advantage of CAD/CAM surgical guides vs lab or office fabricated guides.
• Comprehend how to incorporate this process into their practice and increase case acceptance and profitability.
• Understand how to communicate effectively with patients when presenting computer guided surgery as an option.
