3 Hours of CPD Points
Presented by | Dr Ahmad Al-Hassiny
Founder of The Institute of Digital Dentistry
Discover How Modern Digital Workflows combine Intraoral Scanning, Artificial Intelligence, CAD software, and 3D Printing to improve efficiency, predictability, and patient care.
No hype. Just practical workflows you can implement immediately.
Digital dentistry has evolved far beyond simply taking digital impressions. Today's workflows integrate intraoral scanning, artificial intelligence, CAD software, cloud collaboration, and 3D printing to simplify treatment, reduce chairside time, and improve communication with both patients and laboratories.
The challenge isn't finding new technology; it's knowing how to connect everything into efficient clinical workflows.
This course focuses on exactly that.
Using real clinical cases, you'll see how modern digital workflows are applied across restorative dentistry, orthodontics, splints, surgical guides, implant dentistry, and digital patient communication. The emphasis is not on a single brand or software platform, but on understanding workflows that can be adapted to your own practice.
What you will learn
- Learn to run a case from scan to delivery using digital records, cloud workflows, and practical AI integration.
- See where AI actually earns its place at the chair, from smile simulation and patient communication through to clinical reporting and treatment planning.
- Follow complete restorative workflows for single crowns, inlays, and onlays, including the manufacturing options behind each.
- Work through designing, adjusting, printing, and finishing occlusal splints and night guards, one of the fastest-growing uses of digital dentistry.
- See how digital records, treatment simulations, and AI-assisted setup simplify your everyday orthodontic cases.
- Learn how prosthetically driven planning and surgical guides make implant treatment more predictable, along with the guided surgery concepts behind them.
- Produce diagnostic, surgical, and orthodontic models in-house, plus the printing considerations that keep them accurate.

"I am naturally a little bit cynical sometimes. You get these dentists that promote themselves as being experts and gurus, and it's all over Instagram. So I'm naturally a little bit skeptical. But actually this course massively exceeded my expectations. Ahmad really knows his stuff, he is absolutely on it, and he's enthusiastic, and that really is quite infectious."

Explore the Technologies That Are Shaping
the Future of Chairside Dentistry
The Institute of Digital Dentistry is bringing its live education to dentists who want a clearer, more practical understanding of dental 3D printing and digital workflows. The Future of Dentistry is a focused three-hour evening course where I'll walk you through the technologies that matter most in 2026:
What actually works.
What's still developing.
What's worth your attention.
And what you can safely ignore for now.
This event has a special focus on AI-Driven Workflows in Dentistry, showing how scanners, CAD software, and digital workflows all connect together. This event is supported by Medit, one of the leading innovators in dentistry. Throughout the evening, you'll have the opportunity to see their latest products & software in action, while also learning how AI-driven workflows fits within the broader digital dentistry landscape.
What You'll Walk Away With
This event is structured around seven focused topics, each covering a different part of the modern digital workflow.
By the end of the evening, you'll have a clear picture of where digital dentistry stands today, what it can realistically do for your practice, and how the pieces (scanning, AI, CAD software and clinical treatment) fit together.
Digital Workflow Fundamentals
Going digital is easy to start and surprisingly easy to overcomplicate.
Most practices bolt on one tool at a time and end up with software that doesn't talk to each other and a workflow with more steps than the analog one it replaced. This topic strips it back to the fundamentals of running a digital practice from scan to delivery.
Whether you're just getting started or tidying up a setup that grew messy, this section gives you a clear map of how the pieces should connect.
You'll learn:
How to build a reliable digital records system that replaces impressions and paper
Where cloud workflows genuinely help move cases between clinic, lab and specialist
How AI fits into the day-to-day workflow, and where it is still marketing
How to design a workflow that removes steps instead of adding them
AI-Powered Clinical Workflows
There is a lot of noise around AI in dentistry right now.
Some of it genuinely earns its place in a clinical day. A lot of it is still a solution looking for a problem. This topic separates the two, using tools you can actually put to work now rather than concepts that are a couple of years away.
You'll leave knowing where AI is worth your time and where it isn't.
You'll learn:
How smile simulation supports case acceptance with a realistic preview of the outcome
How AI improves patient communication and cuts down chair-side back and forth
Where AI speeds up clinical reporting and documentation without losing accuracy
How to use AI for treatment planning assistance as a second set of eyes, not a replacement for judgement
Practical, everyday uses of generative AI that quietly give you time back
Restorative Digital Workflows
Restorative work is where most clinics see their first real return from going digital.
This topic runs through complete workflows, from scan to fitted restoration, and is honest about the manufacturing decisions that actually affect your margins and your results.
You'll learn:
The end-to-end digital workflow for single crowns, and where accuracy is won or lost
How to approach inlays and onlays, including design and material choices for a predictable fit
How to weigh your manufacturing options, milling versus printing versus outsourcing, and the real cost of each
Digital Splint Workflows
Splints are one of the fastest-growing applications of in-house digital dentistry, and one of the easiest places to start printing.
This topic demonstrates the full workflow, including the finishing steps that separate a splint the patient actually wears from one that ends up in a drawer.
You'll learn:
How to design occlusal splints and night guards for comfort and retention
How to make digital adjustments before the appliance ever reaches the patient
How printing and finishing affect the final result, including the post-processing most people underestimate
Orthodontic Digital Workflows
Digital tools have made orthodontics far more accessible for the general practice, not just the specialist.
This topic looks at how records, simulation and AI-assisted setup shorten the path from consultation to treatment, and where the current limits sit.
You'll learn:
How digital records replace alginate and stone with fast, repeatable scans
How treatment simulations show patients a credible before-and-after to drive acceptance
How AI-assisted setup speeds up planning while keeping you in control of the result
Implant & Surgical Workflows
Guided surgery is one of the areas where digital planning has the biggest clinical payoff, in both safety and predictability.
This topic covers how the pieces fit together, from prosthetically driven planning through to the guide on the day, and is clear about what the evidence actually supports.
You'll learn:
How to plan and produce surgical guides you can trust in the chair
How prosthetically driven planning starts from the final restoration and works backwards
How digital communication keeps the surgeon, restorative dentist and lab aligned on one plan
Where guided surgery genuinely improves outcomes, and where freehand still wins
Models & 3D Printing
Printing is now a core part of many practices, and models are usually the first thing clinics bring in-house.
This topic goes through the main model types and the printing considerations that decide whether your output is clinically usable or just a nice demo.
You'll learn:
When and why to print diagnostic models for planning, communication and records
How surgical models support guided and more complex cases
How to produce orthodontic models for aligners, retainers and appliances
The printing considerations that matter most, including resin choice, accuracy and post-processing
"I knew what the way to go was"
"When we're talking about digital dentistry, it can be very overwhelming. You can spend hours doing your research about what's the best printer to buy, what's the best scanner to use. I'm leaving very happy because Ahmad gave us basically all the tips that we need to take into account when we make the final step to invest.
We all know it is a big investment and sometimes we don't know if it's the right thing to do. But I'm convinced that with this course, I know already what's the way to go and I'm looking forward to getting to this new era of dentistry."

Why This Event, and Why Me
Dr Ahmad Al-Hassiny
Global Leader in Digital Dentistry & IOS
Industry KOL | Full-Time Private Dentst in NZ | International Lecturer
My name is Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny. I'm the founder of the Institute of Digital Dentistry and one of the most widely consulted voices in digital dentistry.
I've personally tested and reviewed more than 15 dental 3D printers and basically every intraoral scanner on the market. I've been evaluating digital dental technologies for 10 years. Over 60,000 dentists worldwide have learned from iDD's courses and content.
Here's what makes iDD different from most dental education providers. I still work as a full-time private dentist. We run a successful 43-operatory business in NZ and a digital lab. I know the pain points and what really works in a real clinic.
That gives us a broad view of the market, rather than a narrow opinion based on a single product or brand. You'll get my honest assessment, not just a sales pitch.
I've delivered events like this in Australia and internationally, covering scanning, 3D printing, and digital workflows, and the feedback from attending dentists motivated me to keep bringing this education to more clinicians. Seats are limited, and once the dates pass, they're gone.
If you've been on the fence about dental 3D printing, or you're already printing and want to get more out of your investment, this is your evening.
I look forward to seeing you there.
"One of two courses in the last 10 years that have changed my life"
"I got dragged into digital dentistry kicking and screaming. I bought a scanner and just about threw it out the window in the first week. My office manager found this course and I thought, why not? I've already invested this much.
I've been in practice for 32 and a half years. I've gone to two courses in the last 10 years that have changed my practice life. This is one of them.
I came here without a clue how to use this new expensive scanner, and I'm leaving thinking I probably should have just paid for the one day, because I know it all now. It was absolutely fantastic. Anybody who has a scanner should be doing this course, full stop."
Dr Jeffrey Field
"He gives it to you direct with no BS"
"He gives it to you direct with no BS. And same thing with the printers.
I've got three scanners in my practice. I've already got a printer. But even for me, there were lots of little tips and tricks we can implement. The course is great for beginners, but also excellent for those who already have some of the digital dentistry equipment and are using it. Because it is a journey, and you want to keep getting better.
He's got an incredible knowledge in the area, and that was demonstrated by being able to answer questions well, give great examples, and he really made the day fun and educational."
Dr Craig Duval
"It made something that looked foreign look like something that's achievable."
Dr. Joseph Lattouf, General Dentist, Sydney
"Even though I've been doing this for quite some time, someone with Ahmad's calibre will always be a great wealth of knowledge."
Dr. Hani Shafik, General Dentist, Sydney and Melbourne (7+ years in digital dentistry)
"iDD's lecture programs are leading the market, particularly with all the information and comparison points across all the different scanners and printers."
Dr. Luke Cronin, Clinical Advisor, IQ Active Aligners, Brisbane
"This is the future of dentistry. And when we say future, I don't think it's 10 or 15 years. I believe it's the next five. Jump in before everyone else does."
Dr. Joseph Lattouf, General Dentist, Sydney
"Just go in and do it. We all sit on the fence and think we can learn everything by YouTube or Dr. Google. Just go out and talk to people that really know what they're doing."
Dr. Andrew Baderski, General Dentist, Sydney (38 years in practice)
