Your Complete Guide to Same-day Dentistry

This course is your complete roadmap for mastering same-day posterior crowns using the iTero Design Suite (IDS) workflow. We will take a deep dive into every step of the process, ensuring you can execute with both simplicity and predictability. Same-day logistics and setup: Move beyond equipment cost concerns and learn how to optimize your office setup, from choosing the right printer and milling unit to securing a robust internet connection. We’ll show you how to delegate the entire manufacturing process to your team, freeing you up to focus on the prep and cementation, making your workflow efficient and fun. Your eventual goal should be 1-2.5 hours for most cases. Proven design workflows: iTero Design Suite, a lite version of the world-class lab software exocad, is a game-changer. We will walk you through the entire wizard workflow, covering everything from drawing the margin and setting the insertion axis to free-forming the restoration with add/remove, smooth, and anatomic tools. Finally, you’ll master the minimal thickness check and adjusting contacts for a perfect fit, every time. Bonding and cementation: Get a high-level overview of material choices (Composite, Glass Ceramics, Zirconia) and their proper post-manufacture processing, including cleaning, curing, polishing, and characterization. We conclude with a deep dive on adhesive dentistry and cementation. The entire curriculum is broken into bite-sized segments, perfect for watching between patients or at the end of the day. Learn from my experience and my mistakes, so you can be up to speed on the latest techniques in no time.
