In this presentation Brandon Dickerman CDT will share his 16 year journey with guided surgery & coDiagnostiX® from treatment planning to guide fabrication. He will discuss how it created new growth opportunities for his laboratory into untapped markets and how he went from a handful of guides annually to 1800 guides a year.

Workshops
Workshop I: Resolving challenges with the new jaw hole filling feature
Nikolai Shytkov
Global Training & Education coDiagnostiX®, Straumann
19:30 – 20:30 (UTC+1)
Coming in 2025 users will be able to use the new jaw hole filling feature in coDiagnostiX®. Use of this new feature is recommended for any bone support cases, stackable guides and sinus lifting. This workshop will introduce different jaw hole filling options ranging from cutting out underneath the alveole to closing entire holes, and demonstrate how different use cases can be solved with each of them.
Workshop II: Guide design for external sinus lifting
Thomas Borrmann
Expert coDiagnostiX®, Straumann
21:00 – 22:00 (UTC+1)
This workshop will guide you step by step through the process of creating a guide for external sinus lift that allows for a minimally invasive procedure. We will focus on the creation of a cut profile, preparation of your STl data as well as merging with bone segmentation data from the AI Assistant. We will also address common challenges in guide design for sinus lifting such as finding the correct insertion direction to connect your sinus lift and guide and show best practices to solve these issues.
The user meeting is designed for active coDiagnostiX® users with a valid coDiagnostiX® license. Please note that the event will be held online via Zoom and in English.
