This flexible online training course provides dental nurses with the essential theoretical knowledge and practical guidance to support the implementation of digital scanning technology in modern dental practice. Delivered entirely online, it allows participants to complete the training at their own pace while gaining a comprehensive understanding of intraoral scanning systems, with a focus on both iTero and Primescan.
Through a series of interactive modules, video demonstrations, and downloadable resources, participants will explore the full digital scanning workflow—from patient preparation and scanner handling to troubleshooting and lab communication. The course also covers best practices in infection control, clinical integration, and the key differences between leading scanner systems.
