05:30 PM - 6:30 PM
TruAbutment Chicago Reception, IL
Registration
Overview
This course focuses on a streamlined full-arch implant restoration workflow using ioConnect technology integrated with an intra-oral scanner (IOS). Attendees will learn how ioConnect enables precise detection of multi-unit abutment (MUA) positions, eliminating the need for photogrammetry. This innovative approach simplifies the digital workflow, improves efficiency, and ensures highly accurate full-arch restorations. Participants will explore the step-by-step process, from scanning to prosthesis delivery, with an emphasis on best practices and clinical predictability.
