The process of dental preparation has been revolutionized by digital workflows and CAD/CAM technology.

While many clinicians still face challenges adapting traditional preparation methods to machine-milled veneers and crowns, Dr. Kano developed dental preparations techniques based on guides which are planned according to the smile design, enhancing precision, fit, and workflow efficiency. A subtle difference between hand-crafted and digitally designed restorations that can change the whole outcome.

He will also present his renowned Flapless Surgery Technique, a minimally invasive surgery approach for crown lengthening procedures enabling immediate visualization of the final aesthetic results.

The lecture demonstrates how to integrate digital diagnostics, CAD/CAM design, and guidance into a unified, predictable aesthetic workflow.

Discover how to merge cutting-edge digital technologies to elevate both function and aesthetics in your restorative workflow.

This interactive workshop demonstrates the synergy between Integrative Smile Design (ISD), 3D facial scanning, and digital occlusal analysis to achieve restorations that look, feel, and perform naturally.

Participants will explore how to combine facial and intraoral scans to design harmonious smiles with precision and confidence. The session highlights the diagnostic and design advantages of 3D facial integration, 4D jaw tracking, and digital occlusion mapping, showcasing how these tools create the foundation for the digital patient avatar.

Through practical examples, attendees will learn how ISD enhances communication between dentists, technicians, and patients — simplifying treatment explanations, improving collaboration, and reducing chair time — while transforming case presentation into a powerful tool for patient engagement and treatment acceptance.

This focused session dives into the capabilities of the TRIOS 6 intraoral scanner and it’s cutting edge AI assistive diagnostic software. Attendees will discover how to enhance precision and speed through optimized scanning paths per indication, try-out the IO Connect scanbodies set for scanning multiple implant cases and discover the AOX workflow. The workshop covers integration with design software and digital treatment planning. Live demonstrations will help clinicians maximize their scanner’s potential in clinical workflows.

Learn how to unlock the full power of the Medit i900C and I900M scanner for different indications and implant applications. Experts will demonstrate advanced scanning protocols and software tools that streamline accuracy for AOX cases using horizontal scanbodies from the SmartX (Scanladder and Smart Flags) solution. The session also emphasizes real-time ortho Treatment plan visualization, AI-assisted margin detection and data transfer efficiency. Attendees will gain practical know-how for achieving consistent, high-quality digital impressions.

In today’s aesthetic-driven dental world, technology is no longer just a tool—it’s the language of trust and beauty. Advanced digital workflows, AI-assisted diagnostics, and intelligent smile design now enable clinicians and technicians to align precision with emotional and visual excellence. As patients become more informed and digitally empowered, transparent communication and data-driven care become essential to achieving predictable, ethical, and aesthetically fulfilling results. This lecture explores how technology and moral responsibility converge to create authentic, patient-centered transformations. In this new era of digital aesthetics, trust is not promised—it’s proven through process.

In a world where digital, 3D, and AI-driven tools redefine restorative dentistry, full-mouth rehabilitation enters a new dimension of precision. Dr. Thoolen showcases complex cases—from aesthetic zone restorations to full functional rehabs—executed entirely within a digital workflow. Attendees will explore smart case selection, smile design, material choice, and digital integration. The lecture emphasizes efficiency, stress reduction, and the artistry behind technology-assisted planning. Participants will leave inspired to embrace the next era of aesthetic rehabilitation—where beauty, biology, and bytes align perfectly.

In this educational session, Dr Helle Hatt brings her deep clinical and technical expertise in clear-aligner therapy to GPs, guiding them through the decision-making process of when to treat in-house and when to refer for specialist orthodontic care. With over a decade of experience in clear aligner systems and consulting over 30.000 cases with AlignerService, she will unpack the diagnostic workflows, case-selection criteria, treatment-system choices, and the interplay between restorative and orthodontic components in combined treatments.

MDT Marat Aldawjan shows how AI and advanced optical measurement redefine shade matching. Discover the seamless digital workflow combining the clinic’s OptiShade device with the lab’s AI-driven Matisse software. This synergy, utilized by Modern Dental Europe, produces the OptiCrown—a perfectly matched restoration. Attendees will learn how this approach ensures reproducible shade accuracy, efficient collaboration, and outstanding aesthetic outcomes, elevating restorative dentistry to a new dimension of precision.

Adhesive dentistry has redefined aesthetic restorative treatments, shifting from mechanical retention to minimally invasive, long-lasting solutions. Prof. Cardoso presents evidence-based cementation protocols tailored to all-ceramic materials such as feldspathic, lithium disilicate, zirconia, and hybrid ceramics. The lecture explores surface conditioning, cement selection, and color management for optimal outcomes. Key adhesive concepts such as Immediate Dentin Sealing (IDS), Deep Margin Elevation (DME), and heated composites are discussed for enhanced performance. Practical troubleshooting tips will help ensure predictable, durable, and visually superior restorations.

Lutz Ketelaar began his professional journey as a dental technician in Germany in 1997. After a decade of hands-on experience in the laboratory, he transitioned into the dental industry, dedicating over 10 years to advancing digital dentistry through CAD/CAM education. Since 2020, Lutz has been a driving force behind Commercial Product Management in the Fixed Prosthetics segment at Ivoclar, where he leads strategic product initiatives and plays a key role in delivering world-class restorative solutions to dental professionals globally.

Mauad Massali holds a degree in International Business and Management Studies from Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. With experience in both pharmacy and orthodontics, he developed expertise in conventional braces at Billet Orthodontics, where he also trained and supervised colleagues. As clear aligners gained popularity, he specialized in this field. In June 2023, he joined Modern Dental Europe as Assistant Product Manager and Onboarding Supervisor, guiding new practitioners in adopting clear aligners.
