Educational Objectives
By attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
Explain how digital impressions and tablet-based visualization can improve patient understanding and case acceptance during the diagnostic process.
Describe how AI-assisted design tools can simplify and accelerate bite splint design without requiring additional paid software.
Outline a practical same-day workflow that combines digital impressions, AI design, and in-office 3D printing to produce bite splints efficiently in a dental practice.
Abstract
Digital dentistry does not have to be complicated or expensive to implement. In this webinar, Dr. Sully Sullivan explores how bite splints can serve as one of the easiest and most practical entry points into a same-day digital workflow. By leveraging digital impressions and chairside visualization tools such as tablets and iPads, clinicians can transform the diagnostic conversation into a more engaging and understandable experience for patients. When patients can clearly see their condition and proposed treatment, case acceptance naturally improves.
Dr. Sullivan will also demonstrate how modern design tools powered by artificial intelligence can simplify the design process, allowing clinicians to create bite splints in minutes without relying on costly additional software. When paired with in-office 3D printing, this streamlined approach allows practices to move from scan to finished appliance in a single day.
Attendees will walk away with a practical, repeatable workflow that integrates digital impressions, AI-assisted design, and chairside manufacturing. The result is a simplified digital process that improves efficiency, enhances the patient experience, and enables practices to deliver same-day solutions starting the very next day.
