COMPUTER GUIDED IMPLANT DENTISTRY COURSES
FROM CT SCAN TO 3D COURSES
COMPUTER GUIDED ORTHOGNATHICS COURSES
-
Getting Started
Course Description and Prerequisites
You have little or no experience using SimPlant 3D digital visualization software and SurgiGuide drill guides, which accurately transfer your planning onto your patient. Learn to use this technology to your benefit and still work with your favorite implant brands and scanner. Step by step, we will take you through the entire process – from scan, to plan, to guide – and teach you everything you need to know to get started!
Participants master basic computer skills.
Course Objectives
Upon completing this course you will be able to:
• Assess your patient’s anatomy in 3D
• Read (CB)CT images and navigate between 2D and 3D views
• Highlight vital structures, such as the alveolar nerve
• Use the implant library and pre-select your favorite implants
• Place realistic implants and abutments, and adjust their position
• View and analyze bone density
• Know which case requires a tooth-, bone- or mucosa-supported drill guide

Next Step
Course Description and Prerequisites
You already “got started” some time ago and want to expand and refine your knowledge in 3D Digital Dentistry. Experienced colleagues will share their clinical knowledge with you and show how they’ve integrated this technology into their practice. Learn from their successes and get yourself to the next level in no time!
Participants have taken the “Getting Started” course or already master the above-mentioned skills by own experience.
Course Objectives
Upon completing this course you will be able to:
• Parallel and align implants
• Use the powerful 3D view with clipping feature to view inside the bone
• Use the collision detection tool
• Visualize the most ideal alignment of underlying implants using the virtual teeth tool
• Simulate grafts using the bone grafting tool
• Design your SurgiGuide drill guide according to your own preferences
- Getting Started
Course Description and Prerequisites
Materialise Dental and worldwide scan processing centers can provide you with in-depth 3D access to your patient’s CT images by converting the scan files into 3D SimPlant files. However, it might be interesting for you to learn how to do this yourself. Maybe you have a scanner in your office, or maybe you just want to save precious time. By learning to use a simple wizard, you’ll find that it really isn’t that complicated!
Participants are, or are interested in becoming, SimPlant Pro or Master users. This course is often organized as an add-on to Computer Guided Implant Dentistry courses.
Course Objectives
Upon completing this course you will be able to:
• Convert 2D images into 3D images
• Remove artifacts and scatter
• Separate opposing arches, the mandible or maxilla and the scan prosthesis if applicable
• Draw a panoramic curve
• Know the difference between Single and Dual Scan Guidelines
• Enhance the quality of your 3D image
- Next Step
Course Description and Prerequisites
You’re a perfectionist! You already know how to create a rough 3D image, but you want to go further. You want to create highly sophisticated 3D images, with nicely separated tooth roots, smooth surfaces and detailed 3D objects. Take some time, learn the details, we’ll make you shine!
Participants have successfully completed the “Getting Started” course.
Course Objectives
This course gets you to an advanced level, refining the skills attained in the “Getting Started” course.
- Getting Started: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Course Description and Prerequisites
SimPlant offers dental professionals a highly accurate and totally integrated 3D dental implant treatment tool.
SimPlant OMS reaches a next level in 3D Digital Dentistry, taking SimPlant beyond implant planning toward interactive 3D diagnosis and treatment in orthognathic surgery. It offers the full
spectrum of 3D diagnostic and simulation tools to allow accurate planning of even the most complex orthognathic cases.
This course is intended for clinicians who wish to know more about SimPlant OMS, the new standard for orthognathic surgeons who want to increase their revenues, work more efficiently, plan more predictably and accept more complex cases and patient referrals than they ever thought possible.
Course Objectives
Upon completing this course you will be able to:
• Perform accurate 3D cephalometric analyses
• Create a custom 3D analysis
• Visualize highly detailed tooth information from digital models to calculate post-surgery occlusion
• Simulate surgery using easy-to-use wizards or custom cutting tools
• Simulate soft tissue movement
• Superimpose digital photographs on CT data
• Transfer your planning to the patient using digital wafers or splints
