Intraoral Photogrammetry – A Game Changer for Cross-Arch Immediate Loading

This presentation aims to demonstrate how scanning in dentistry has gone long way from a side accessory for specific cases to a an everyday mandatory tool for every prosthodontics case imaginable.

The implementation of IPG in intraoral scanning and how it made cross arch cases passivity a normality and how face scanning with jaw tracking motion can save time and patient discomfort on cases that need a tone of complex equipment and numerous appointments to finish .

Key features:

Aoralscan Elite IPG

Metismile MR

Implant scanning

Digital immediate loading

CBCT adaptation to face scanning

Jaw tracking

CBCT and Orthopantomography in Modern Dental Diagnostics: When 2D Is Sufficient and When 3D Alters the Treatment Plan

Modern dental diagnostics require a proper assessment of when a two-dimensional panoramic radiograph suffices and when a three-dimensional CBCT analysis alters the treatment plan. The panoramic radiograph remains a vital tool for the initial assessment of dental status, general orientation, patient communication, and the identification of basic pathological or anatomical findings. However, for implant planning—specifically when assessing bone volume, relationships with the mandibular canal, maxillary sinus, and buccal plate, as well as resorption and complex endodontic or surgical scenarios—a 2D image is often insufficient. CBCT enables a more precise evaluation of anatomical structures, safer procedure planning, and a better explanation of treatment options to the patient. The aim of this lecture is to present a practical clinical decision-making algorithm: when to use a panoramic radiograph, when CBCT is indicated, and how to avoid unnecessary radiation exposure.
