HANDS-ON WORKSHOP C
From Adjustment to Precision: Unlocking Digital Bite Balance
Date and Time: 17 April 2026 | 2.00pm – 5.00pm
Session Information:
A balanced bite is the foundation of long-term dental success. When biting forces are evenly distributed, teeth, muscles, jaw joints, and restorations are better protected—reducing wear, fractures, muscle tension, headaches, grinding-related damage, and overload on implants or crowns. Digital bite analysis is redefining how modern dentistry delivers precision and predictability.
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge digital technology into your daily clinical workflow—quickly, easily, and with immediate impact. Through real clinical scenarios and practical implementation strategies, you’ll discover how small workflow upgrades can create a measurable difference in treatment longevity, efficiency, and patient satisfaction.
Gain the confidence to visualize bite forces, make data-driven clinical decisions, and protect your restorative work with greater precision. Elevate your dentistry with technology you can trust, insights you can see, and results your patients will feel.
Learning Outcomes:
- Implement a digital occlusal analysis system seamlessly into daily clinical practice.
- Accurately identify and correct bite imbalances to improve long-term restorative success.
- Reduce complications and protect dental work by making precise, data-supported occlusal adjustments.

FULL DAY WORKSHOP A
Hands-On Veneer Preparation & Digital Aesthetic Workflow Masterclass
Date and Time: 18 April 2026 | 9.00am – 5.00pm
Session Information:
This intensive full-day workshop provides clinicians with a comprehensive, hands-on experience in veneer preparation and digital aesthetic workflows. Participants will work directly on typodont models, completing step-by-step preparations under Dr. Aloum’s guidance, including incisal reduction, axial calibration, elbow refinement, and finish-line demarcation. A full practical sequence will be demonstrated—from smile-design and mock-up evaluation to tooth preparation, gingival management, impression/scanning techniques, and provisionalization.
Attendees will also practice the complete photographic protocol required for digital smile planning and learn how to integrate images into design software. The afternoon session focuses on cord-packing, soft-tissue management, and fabricating clean, functional chairside temporaries with ideal gingival embrasures.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have mastered a full, repeatable veneer workflow that can be implemented immediately. This is an advanced, high-value session tailored to clinicians aiming to elevate their aesthetic dentistry and prosthodontic precision.
Learning Outcomes:
- Perform complete veneer preparations using a standardized, repeatable clinical sequence.
- Master gingival retraction, dual-cord techniques, and soft-tissue control.
- Execute digital photography, scanning, and provisional workflows for predictable aesthetic outcomes.

HALF-DAY WORKSHOP B
One Visit, One Solution: Fully Digital Scan-to-Delivery Concept
Date and Time: 19 April 2026 | 9.00am – 12.00pm
Session Information:
Same-day restorations are becoming a key pillar of modern digital dentistry, offering patients faster care while giving clinicians greater control and predictability. This workshop introduces a fully digital scan-to-delivery workflow that takes participants from data capture to final restoration all within a single visit.
The session begins with high-accuracy intraoral scanning using the iTero scanner, enabling precise data capture and immediate clinical assessment. Participants will then explore how digital design software optimizes occlusion, anatomy and aesthetics in a virtual environment. The workflow continues with chairside fabrication using milling or 3D printing, followed by finishing, try-in and delivery of the restoration.
By experiencing the entire process end-to-end, clinicians will see how a fully digital approach reduces common impression-related errors, shortens treatment time, and enhances patient communication and satisfaction. This scan-to-delivery concept showcases how digital integration can make restorative dentistry more predictable, efficient and patient-friendly.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the principles, indications and clinical value of a fully digital scan-to-delivery workflow for completing same-day restorations.
- Apply intraoral scanning, digital design tools and chairside manufacturing technologies (milling and 3D printing) through a guided, hands-on experience.
- Evaluate the accuracy, efficiency and patient-experience advantages of one-visit digital restorations compared with conventional restorative workflows.
