This session explores the role of digital dentistry and artificial intelligence in modern veneer and aesthetic restorative workflows, demonstrating how AI-driven diagnosis can enhance precision, consistency, and clinical decision-making when guided by expert input. It highlights fully integrated digital workflows—from facial analysis and diagnosis to design and execution—enabling more predictable and minimally invasive aesthetic rehabilitations. Advances in materials and technologies, including intraoral scanning, CBCT integration, 3D printing, and milling, are presented as key drivers in simplifying complex cases. By reducing clinical time, cost, and complexity, these digital approaches transform veneer treatments and full-mouth rehabilitations into streamlined, patient-centered processes with highly predictable outcomes.

Although dentists often approach AI with caution due to the precision required in diagnosis and restorative treatment, responsibly trained AI has the potential to elevate clinical expertise. Through supervised learning and close collaboration between dental specialists and AI engineers, AI can deliver fast, consistent, and highly accurate support for diagnosis and digital treatment. If AI is integrated into digital workflows, it should get empowered as continuously learning assistant, through clinical feedback and real-world outcomes. When guided by expert judgment, AI can enhance precision, streamline restorative treatment, and shape the future of patient-centered oral healthcare.

Digital Dentistry
― Modern Approach to Aesthetic Ceramic Restorations

Minimally invasive aesthetic all-ceramic restorations – The key steps for success and predictable outcomes.
The use of digital technologies from planning to execution for complex aesthetic rehabilitations.
The use of 3D printable materials in supporting and simplifying complex digital workflows.

The utilization of digital technologies in the field of restorative dentistry is fast becoming the norm in the everyday dental practice. However, the implementation and application of these technologies in the workflows of restorative dentistry can be challenging and, at times, frustrating.
The aim of this lecture is to highlight some of the key features in improving and simplifying the digital workflows in the field of direct, indirect and implant restorative dentistry to ensure predictable, repeatable and outcomes of the highest standards.
Development in material technology has given us the tools to be more minimally invasive in our preparation designs and reduce the biological cost on our patient’s dentition. New techniques with these materials will allow us to be more accurate, less invasive, and conserve more tooth structure. These key points are in line with the philosophy of “teeth for life” for our modern day patients and will be discussed during the presentation.

AI in oral healthcare is still approached cautiously considering the high personalised demands for diagnosis and prosthetic treatment. Yet, responsibly trained AI has the potential to elevate clinical diagnosis and prosthetic treatment. Indeed, supervised learning and close collaboration between dental specialists and AI engineers, can allow AI to be delivering fast, consistent, and highly accurate support to prosthetic dentists for diagnosis and digital treatment. AI tools could be further empowered by integration into digital workflows, while continuously learning through clinical feedback. When guided by expert judgment, AI can become a perfect dental assistant while striving for personalised smart prosthodontic treatment.

The digitalization of complete denture fabrication has introduced significant improvements in efficiency, standardization, and reproducibility; however, a fully digital workflow is still not applicable to all clinical scenarios. The aim of this presentation is to introduce the HD Denture concept, a hybrid digital workflow that integrates digital and analog techniques within a flexible and structured clinical and laboratory protocol, according to clinical needs, operator experience, and available technologies. The presentation explores the current possibilities of digital complete dentures and provides an in-depth description of milled and 3D-printed prostheses, focusing on materials, manufacturing processes, and clinical applications. Future perspectives of the HD Denture protocol are presented, highlighting how technological and material advancements may further expand digital applications while preserving the value of traditional prosthodontic basics within an evolving digital environment.
