Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Understand the digital workflow for indirect restorations using 3D printed resins, including intraoral scanning and design strategies.
2. Identify indications and contraindications of 3D printed resins as restorative materials in clinical dentistry.
3. Apply design principles for various types of indirect restorations (onlays, crowns, veneers, etc.) in a CAD environment.
4. Demonstrate familiarity with 3D printing technology: printer setup, resin handling, and post-processing steps.
5. Evaluate the advantages and limitations of 3D printed restorations compared to conventional CAD/CAM and laboratory methods.
6. Recognize common problems in 3D printing (accuracy, surface quality, fit) and explore practical solutions.
7. Apply evidence-based cementation protocols for 3D printed resin restorations.
8. Incorporate clinical tips and tricks to optimize outcomes and manage potential complications 1- Introduction to 3D Printing Technology
• Live demonstration of dental 3D printers, including workflow setup.
• Resin handling protocols: storage, safety, and calibration.
• Demonstration of printing, post-processing (washing, curing), and fit evaluation of restorations.
2 -Cementation Techniques

3- Finishing and Polishing of Printed Restorations
• Demonstration and practice of contouring, polishing, and glazing techniques.
• Evaluation of surface quality and esthetic outcome.
4 -Troubleshooting Common Issues: participants handle “failed prints” (warped, incomplete, misfit) to learn error recognition and correction strategies.
