Learn from a prosthodontist how to use 2D and 3D smile design tools for your smile makeovers and full-mouth rehabilitation cases. With Dr. Paul Zhivago, a Clinical Associate Professor at the Department of Prosthodontics at New York University.
From Aesthetic to Functional Results
The days of tedious handmade wax-ups are numbered. Dr. Paul Zhivago will show you how he integrates digital tools in his specialist prosthodontist practice. He uses 2D smile designs to discuss and manage his patient’s expectations. This proposal is then converted to a 3D smile design that can be transferred to the patient’s mouth and used for further planning, preparation, and temporization. These digital workflows allow you to plan treatments that have not only aesthetic outcomes but are also functional, ensuring the longevity of your restorations.
