Digital dentistry has moved from a specialty interest to a foundational layer of modern clinical practice — spanning scanning, CAD/CAM design, treatment planning software, 3D printing, aligner workflows, guided surgery, and AI-assisted diagnostics. This hub brings together all OHI-S learning formats for digital dentistry in one place: online courses, hands-on seminars, and free resources — for general dentists, restorative clinicians, orthodontic-minded practitioners, and implant clinicians building confidence across digital tools and workflows.
Why Continuing Education Matters in Digital Dentistry
Digital tools change how dentists plan, communicate, and execute treatment — but the value of those tools depends on understanding how to integrate them into real clinical workflows. Software fluency alone is not enough; what matters is knowing when digital planning adds meaningful value, which systems fit which indication, and how digital steps connect across restorative, implant, and orthodontic disciplines.
Continuing education in digital dentistry helps clinicians move from passive awareness of available technology to confident, indication-based decision-making. Whether the goal is learning Exocad for crown design, understanding 3Shape workflows, integrating Digital Smile Design into case presentations, or applying 3D treatment planning logic to implant cases, structured learning creates the foundation for more efficient and predictable digital practice.
What You'll Learn
OHI-S digital dentistry training covers the full scope of the category — from software-driven design and planning to scanning protocols, digital documentation, and AI-assisted clinical tools:
- Digital prosthetics — CAD/CAM crown design, digital workflows for fixed restorations, and CEREC-based chairside production logic
- Digital orthodontics — aligner design principles, digital treatment sequencing, and software-based case planning for clear aligner workflows
- Digital implantology — 3D treatment planning, surgical guide design, abutment design, and guided surgery workflow integration
- Exocad and 3Shape — practical orientation to the two most widely used dental CAD platforms, including crown, bridge, and prosthetic design environments
- Digital Smile Design — smile planning, visual treatment prediction, and digital communication tools for aesthetic case presentation and patient co-diagnosis
- Digital impression and scanning — intraoral scanner workflows, scan accuracy considerations, and digital impression integration into restorative and implant planning
- 3D printing in dentistry — clinical applications of additive manufacturing across models, surgical guides, provisional restorations, and aligner production
- Virtual articulator and occlusal planning — digital articulation logic, occlusal simulation, and its role in restorative and full-arch planning
- AI in dentistry — AI-assisted diagnostic tools, radiograph analysis, and decision-support applications in everyday clinical workflows
- Digital approach to TMJ dysfunction — digital documentation, planning, and visualization tools in TMJ-related case management
- Digital patient documentation — structured record-keeping, treatment visualization, and case presentation logic in digital practice environments, supported by modern digital dentistry technology
Learning Formats at OHI-S
OHI-S delivers digital dentistry education across four formats, so clinicians can learn in the way that fits their schedule, software environment, and practice goals.
Online courses provide structured, on-demand access to digital dentistry topics — particularly well suited to software-focused learning, where step-by-step walkthroughs of Exocad, 3Shape, Digital Smile Design, and planning tools benefit from the ability to pause and rewatch at any point.
Hands-on seminars and live events offer direct faculty interaction, live software demonstration, and practical digital workflow exercises in cities including Rome, Vienna, Florence, Bologna, Prague, Berlin, Dubai, and Kyoto.
Free learning resources give open access to introductory videos, webinars, and orientation materials across digital dentistry topics — useful for exploring a tool or workflow before committing to structured training.
The OHI-S platform and mobile app connect all formats in one place, supported by a professional community used by ~140,000 dentists each month.
