ACDE Webinar Series
The Association for Continuing Dental Education (ACDE), along with 37 of its member schools, is jointly providing a series of live webinars. This series features university-based key opinion leaders presenting numerous topics on multiple dates and times. Presentations are available to meet every dental professionalâs schedule and interests.
Course Description
With the recent advances of CAD/CAM dental technology, the use of intraoral scanners has been rapidly increasing. Intraoral scanners are now widely used to fabricate various types of dental prostheses including fixed, removable and implant prostheses. Intraoral scanning has some advantages over conventional impression making, but it also has limitations.
This presentation will review basic principles of intraoral scanning that clinicians should know about to control the accuracy of intraoral scanning. Scanning strategies and indications/contraindications of intraoral scanning will be discussed based on recently published studies. Various clinical examples will be presented to describe how the principles discussed in this presentation can be used to improve patient care outcome.

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Improve their understanding on basic principles and accuracy determining factors of intraoral scanning.
- Maximize scanning efficiency and accuracy by applying optimal scanning strategies and techniques for various clinical situations.
