Amazing courses, the best way to see multiple different digital scanning and milling systems in action. I can’t recommend the Institute of Digital Dentistry highly enough for dentists interested in starting digital dentistry.

This is a course I can recommend to any dentist wanting to know how and where to start with CAD/CAM. I know the journey of CAD/CAM continues to develop and evolve and I know the iDD will be right there beside it!

I do definitely recommend these courses. It gives you a really good summary of all the CAD/CAM systems including TRIOS and CEREC, different types of mills and materials, so you get a good overview that’s unbiased.

It’s been so beneficial. Not only do you get to learn how to do everything, but you get exposure to all the different systems. I’ve learnt that I could do so much more. I had only been doing single crown restorations. I was scared to do anything else, just because of time pressure. But iDD has given me the confidence I need to do so much more.

The course was great. It’s been good to try out the new scanners to see what the new mills can do. The team is really enthusiastic, and I’d certainly recommend this course to anyone who would like to see what you can do with CAD/CAM dentistry.

I recommend these courses to everyone who is looking to up-skill their day to day practice and learn CAD/CAM.

A Highly RECOMMENDED course unique to New Zealand. The Institute of Digital Dentistry presented by Hamid Al-Hassiny and his sons, Ahmad and Haidar all have great CHARACTER. COMMENDATION to a well balanced informative lecture base and hands-on touch. An ENDORSEMENT to an unbiased, peer to peer family approach. Digital Scan, Design, Mill in one appointment is the future, so DO NOT get left behind.

This course offers an unbiased overview of many different systems. If you want to get into CAD/CAM and you don’t know where to start, this is the place.

There are no courses in NZ that understand and embrace the future of dentistry quite like Dr Ahmad and his staff at iDD. Nothing like a course where you can learn to scan, design, mill and even glaze your own CAD/CAM restorations using many different systems! Dr Ahmad spares nothing in order to achieve the greatest results in dentistry and it is evident in both the equipment and the knowledge he has acquired in his practicing career. He holds nothing back and I feel like I have come out of the course not only confident that I would be able to do this in the mouth but also a better clinician. 5/5 would recommend

Dr Hamid and the team are without a doubt leaders in the field of CAD/CAM and Digital Dentistry. There is no better place to learn CAD/CAM than the Institute of Digital Dentistry. The dentists here use the technology daily in the practice and this shows in the courses which was an excellent learning experience.

Course Overview

Day One

This day will focus on the main principles of CAD/CAM and techniques to ensure you can take an efficient and accurate digital impression.

We will start with the basics of scanning protocol and then move to practicing scanning on take-home printed models. Each participant will be free to use use all CAD/CAM systems to practice scanning including CEREC Omnicam, CEREC Primescan, 3Shape TRIOS3, Planmeca Emerald and Medit i500. This is then followed by practicing Intra-Oral scanning and mastering the techniques required when taking a real live scan.

We will then move onto design and milling phase of the CAD/CAM workflow and explore the fundamentals of creating restorations using CAD software. This will include:

  • Exploring the entire CAD protocol and key pointers to ensure well-fitting restorations
  • Key tips and tricks to avoid problems with fitting and to ensure tight contacts that fit seamlessly

You will be guided on how to design restorations on each system and proceed to milling the restorations and checking the fit on printed models. Comparison will be made between each of the different CAD/CAM systems.

Day Two

The second day will tackle CAD/CAM materials, glazing and characterisation techniques to create beautiful aesthetic restorations. Understanding what types of CAD materials are available and their indications is a key learning objective.

We will repeat what we have learnt in day one and carry out the entire digital work flow from start to finish. You will scan and design another two restorations (crown, inlay or onlay), start to finish and work through the entire process to mill the restorations out of a materials of your choice.

Hands-On Characterisation and glazing techniques will be covered. You will carry this out on the restorations you have produced and fire the restorations so you can see the results of the stain and glaze. You will also compare how this can affect the fit and learn key tips to ensure high quality restorations.

Lastly we will explore CAD/CAM ownership and key aspects that you will need to be aware of. Costs, maintenance, required consumables, how to set up your book and staff delegation will all be covered

A Highly RECOMMENDED course unique to New Zealand. The Institute of Digital Dentistry presented by Hamid Al-Hassiny and his sons, Ahmad and Haidar all have great CHARACTER. COMMENDATION to a well balanced informative lecture base and hands-on touch. An ENDORSEMENT to an unbiased, peer to peer family approach.

Unbiased and pragmatic approach to CAD/CAM dentistry designed for GDPs by GDPs. Great niche and I am greatly looking forward to more courses.

This course offers an unbiased overview of many different systems. If you want to get into CAD/CAM and you don’t know where to start, this is the place.

There are no courses in NZ that understand and embrace the future of dentistry quite like Dr Ahmad and his staff at iDD. Nothing like a course where you can learn to scan, design, mill and even glaze your own CAD/CAM restorations using many different systems! Dr Ahmad spares nothing in order to achieve the greatest results in dentistry and it is evident in both the equipment and the knowledge he has acquired in his practicing career. He holds nothing back and I feel like I have come out of the course not only confident that I would be able to do this in the mouth but also a better clinician. 5/5 would recommend

Knowing which machine to use when, whether one machine is going to be too slow or not accurate enough… it’s a minefield out there. If you’re on the fence [about iDD], you need to jump in and do it, because at the end of the day, dentistry is all going digital. Everything coming out now is digitally-based. It looks so much better, and it’s nicer for patients. So, if you want to be giving patients the best treatment, you need to get onto the course and have all the experience you can to take that to your practice.

This is a course I can recommend to any dentist wanting to know how and where to start with CAD/CAM. I know the journey of CAD/CAM continues to develop and evolve and I know the iDD will be right there beside it!

I am completely impressed about your courses

I am very much supported with your course. It is completely incredible and very supportive for my clinical applications. I am encouraged with your words and techniques through your course. I used to follow your course since 2021,it’s marvellous and no words to express my feelings about your course. I am in this field for past 20 years and as CAD CAM Technician for past 4 years, I am completely impressed about your courses. I request you to constantly encourage us with your course. THANK YOU.

I do definitely recommend these courses. It gives you a really good summary of all the CAD/CAM systems including TRIOS and CEREC, different types of mills and materials, so you get a good overview that’s unbiased.

I had only been doing single crown restorations. I was scared to do anything else, just because of time pressure. But iDD has given me the confidence I need to do so much more.

I'm going to re enter the scanner market world

I was an early user of Cerec 2 (X/Y/Z line design), but after upgrade, upgrade, upgrade cost over the next 10-15 years, I soured on the technology. I'm going to re enter the scanner market world as I have a D4 dental son and a competitive market place has changed the landscape. So thank you for all you do in the scanner technology world! You and your team are impressive.
