This 2-hour dynamic video, moderated by Dr. Lou Graham, will help clarify the path to going digital, the process for effective treatment planning, and why the time is now to create more practice opportunities. Each presenter will share their unique perspective on staying relevant with digital scanning technology. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES 
1. Understand the current opportunities of scanning for the dental practitioner
2. Learn how to incorporate intraoral scanning to improve workflow efficiencies, productivity, and predictability
3. Realize the relevance of digital technologies for improved diagnosis, new treatment options, and increased profitability
