This is more than a symposium.
It's the key to a more rewarding practice.
There is no better opportunity to unlock new possibilities and advanced workflows than the Digital Dentistry Symposium, Feb. 18-19 in Chicago.
Today’s digital systems are designed for accuracy, efficiency, and predictability. The simplicity is as beautiful as the restorative outcomes. You could be spending less time chairside with each patient and delivering better care than ever before.
Led by Program Chair Dr. Mark Ludlow, speakers who helped develop the technology will show you how they use it. You’ll see workflows that can help you achieve exceptional patient outcomes – and accelerate the success of your practice.
You'll gain essential insights into topics such as:
- Practice Integration
- Hybrid Design & Workflow
- Printing & Milling
- Surgical Integration
- Single Visit Chairside
- Full Arch Implant
- Digital Dentures
It has never been easier to integrate digital solutions into your practice – or more essential.
Register today online or with this form and we'll see you in Chicago!

Sponsor description:
In today's world, patients and clinicians want things to be done as quickly and efficiently as possible. For single-tooth replacement, this can be accomplished by utilizing the latest digital tools to help us treatment plan and execute both surgical and prosthetic implant treatment. This course will review how a new solution can streamline the implant workflow in single-tooth replacement cases. Additionally, a review and comparison of the conventional implant restorative workflow to one that implements digital technology will be explored.
Please join us to learn about the efficiency and simplicity of placing and restoring implants utilizing the latest digital innovations.
Objectives:
- Discuss how implementing digital solutions can decrease patient visits and reduce chair-time.
- Identify how to place single-tooth implants safely and predictably and analyze the advantages of prefabricated custom healing abutments and temporaries.
- Recall how a new single-tooth replacement concept can reduce the need for costly implant, instrument, and material inventory.
