Digital Hybrids for Dentists & Technicians
4 modules: 27 online lessons

This is our original course on clinical and lab workflows for AOX. This is when we designed thimble frames (from Pekton to titanium) with individual crowns and finished them with Anaxgum. This is pre-photogrammetry as well.

In this course though, you will learn how to treatment plan AND design full arch prostheses in a way that will allow you to treat with ANY material you like. We will teach you how to combine multiple types of materials to suit your needs for your patients/docs with simple, easy to design CAD cases using the powerful Exocad CAD software.

Full arch implant rehabilitations require precision, attention to detail, and efficiency in order to pull them off accurately with longevity. Many of us have restored these with metal frames, acrylic teeth, and denture acrylics. Those of you that have, have you seen what they look like in a matter of just a few years? Are patients frustrated when they bust teeth off their new and expensive prosthesis?

This is an immersion in full arch treatment planning and execution of these prostheses with hands-on CAD DESIGN WITH EXOCAD. Learn why you should consider stepping away from the traditional metal-acrylic hybrids and expand your vision with other materials in the boom of digital dentistry. We will cover the new emerging materials being used as a non-metal alternative (e.g. Pekkton, Trinia, Trilor, etc.) for hybrid frameworks.

Learn how to design the wax up, the wear-home try-ins, and the finals digitally in Exocad (dental design software) before learning the ins and outs of printing and milling through this entire process.

We are a tandem of prosthodontists who have dedicated their practice to striving for a digital workflow for their patients. Immerse yourself in the answers to the questions that have plagued your mind in wanting to provide this treatment in a more predictable fashion for your patients.

During this course, you can expect to experience the following:

- History of hybrids and an overview on how it's been done since Branemark's initial designs
- Treatment planning – How, why, what, how many?
- Clinical steps for pre-operative planning and success
- How to utilize digital impression techniques in planning & executing your interim prostheses
- Immediate load & conversion prostheses
- Occlusal scheme planning for interims vs. finals
- Digital workflows for designing the prosthetics in Exocad
- Step-by-step instructions for final restorations
- How many appointments?
- What materials?
- What techniques?
- Patient management tricks?
- Utilizing the interims for final prosthesis design
- Framework design
- Crown materials
- HANDS ON CAD designing in EXOCAD with DEMO SOFTWARE PROVIDED FOR YOU.

Nate Farley is a board certified prosthodontist with a passion for all things digital. He completed both dental school and his prosthodontic residency at the Ohio State University.
While in residency, he created whatimplantisthat.com, a free online resource for radiographic implant identification. This passion for dental information led him to co-found Infodontics, LLC, a company committed to put dental information right at people’s fingertips through innovative, useful, and free online resources. Also in residency, he completed his masters thesis by comparing the accuracy of CAD/CAM surgical guides to traditional guides. Over the years, he has had experience with five different implant planning programs.
