The Best of Both Worlds: Mastering the Balance Between Conventional and Digital Workflows

Abstract: 

This webinar explores the evolving balance between conventional and digital approaches in modern dentistry. Participants will gain insight into how traditional clinical expertise remains fundamental while digital technologies—such as CAD/ CAM, intraoral scanning, guided surgery, and 3D printing—are transforming diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient outcomes. The session will emphasize evidence-based comparisons, showcasing clinical cases where analog precision and digital innovation complement one another. Attendees will also discover how hybrid workflows can improve efficiency, accuracy, and predictability across specialties, from implantology and prosthodontics to restorative and aesthetic dentistry. Finally, the webinar aims to provide a global perspective, addressing not only cutting edge technologies but also accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and the importance of tailoring workflows to different healthcare systems and patient needs worldwide.

Learning Objective:

1.     Highlight the strengths and limitations of conventional techniques versus digital workflows in modern dentistry, giving participants a balanced, evidence-based perspective.

2.     Demonstrate how hybrid approaches—combining analog expertise with digital innovation—can improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and long-term clinical outcomes.

3.     Empower clinicians to make strategic decisions about when to rely on traditional methods, when to leverage digital tools, and how to integrate both effectively into daily practice.
