Advanced Techniques in Smile Design with Lucas Ciardullo

Advanced techniques in smile design with Lucas Ciardullo

Who should attend?

CDTs, lab techs, design staff and anyone interested in a personalized learning experience to enhance their exocad skills.

Pre-Requisite: intermediate to advanced experience using exocad or other CAD/CAM dental design software.

Integrated into the DentalCAD platform, Smile Creator with automatic AI cloud photo matching (TruSmile Photo) and TruSmile Video empowers you to reliably create prosthetically feasible smile designs.

In this course you will learn how to combine patient photos or face scans with intra oral jaw scans, design a tooth setup, and create beautiful realistic TruSmile Video and photos for patient and dentist evaluation of potential outcomes. This is a workflow that can be useful for many types of complex cases, such as full-mouth restorations, dental implants, or cosmetic enhancements, as it allows both the dentist and the patient to preview the proposed changes, make any necessary adjustments before treatment begins, as well as create predictable final restoration results.

A digital wax up model in combination with your smile design, reduces chair time. Increased accuracy, clearer communication and planning, and simple adjustments allow you to accurately reproduce your designs.
