The Smile Design Summit

Using optical illusion and morphological know-how to create harmony and beauty when facing common challenges during the process of rehabilitating smiles. Prosthodontists, restorative dentists and technicians are constantly treating patients that, for many reasons, don’t have the ideal bone, gingiva, implant, and/or tooth position. When the only tools left are restorations, what can we do to overcome these compromises, camouflage the limitations, and generate the best possible esthetic outcome for these cases?

Learning Objectives:
-Understand and diagnose the dento-gingival esthetic compromises
-Learn the morphological and design tricks to camouflage limitations
-Control what matters to create balance and harmony
-Improve your communication Dentist-Lab
-Become more effective by controlling esthetic issues chairside.

The rapid integration of digital technologies into reconstructive dentistry has redefined clinical standards and elevated treatment possibilities. Unlike traditional approaches, digital solutions
aim to enhance precision, predictability, and patient-centered care in diagnostics, planning, and the delivery of treatment.

The advancement of Digital Smile Design (DSD) has transformed patient communication and reinforced the collaborative nature of multidisciplinary dental care. With the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI), digital workflows have become more accurate, efficient, and scalable, enabling data-driven planning, enhanced visualization, and streamlined manufacturing processes.

This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of contemporary digital workflows and explore how AI-powered tools reshape implant and esthetic rehabilitation. Special emphasis will be placed on integrating surgical, functional, and esthetic elements in implant treatments using AI-enhanced planning and design protocols.

Educational Objectives:

1. Understand the current state and components of digital workflows in implant and esthetic dentistry.

2. Explore the integration of AI and emerging technologies in Smile Design and advanced rehabilitative protocols.

3. Learn how digital workflows enhance efficiency, precision, and predictability in esthetic implant rehabilitation.
