Enhance Dental Education Training Programme Overview
This engaging one-day in-house course (or online blended alternative) provides dental nurses with the essential knowledge and skills to support the implementation of digital scanning technology in modern dental practice. It focuses on the clinical application and practical operation of intraoral scanners, with specific emphasis on both the iTero and Primescan systems.
Participants will explore the growing role of digital dentistry, understand the scanning process from start to finish, and learn how to troubleshoot common scanning challenges. The course will compare different scanner systems, discuss best practices for infection control and patient positioning, and examine how digital workflows integrate with lab communication and treatment planning.
