Course overview

An intensive online course specifically designed for prosthodontists and dental technicians looking to master advanced technologies in digital dentistry, with 3Shape Dental System software.
Throughout the course, you will learn how to:
– Captivate your patients with tips and tricks on 3Shape Smile Design
– Create a 3D mock-up for more predictable treatment planning
– Design veneers from planned case to final restorations (how to save time and optimize the workflow)
– Generate printable digital models with 3Shape Model Builder
– Design a complete digital denture.
