A workshop designed to clarify the theoretical foundations of dental CBCT and to apply them in practical exercises.

Amprentarea digitală schimbă felul în care planificăm și realizăm restaurările protetice fixe. Acest workshop vă introduce în fluxul de lucru cu scannerul intraoral, de la principii până la captarea propriu-zisă, atât pentru lucrări pe dinți naturali, cât și pentru lucrări pe implante.

Digital workflows have become an integral part of modern prosthetic practice. For the generation currently entering the profession, intraoral scanning, CAD design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) are no longer technologies of the future, but everyday working tools. However, access to these technologies comes with a pitfall: the impression that software can correct everything. In reality, the accuracy of a restoration is limited by the quality of the initial data, and the optical impression is the foundation upon which the entire process is built.
This presentation aims to show students where and what goes wrong most frequently in intraoral scanning. Dr Andreea Custură will address the main sources of error. These include insufficient isolation of the scanning area, which allows saliva, blood and cervical fluid to distort the scan. Next is inadequate gingival retraction, which leaves the subgingival margins unrecorded. Incorrect scanning strategies will also be discussed, including frequent image-overlap errors with full arches, difficulties caused by reflective surfaces and soft-tissue mobility, as well as errors in occlusion recording.
Each type of error will be linked to specific clinical consequences: poor marginal fit, incorrect proximal and occlusal contacts, lengthy chairside adjustments and remakes that cost time, money and the patient’s trust. Finally, the presentation will propose a practical protocol that is easy to apply right from the early years of study.

The Integration of Attachments in Clear Aligner Therapy

“The Integration of Attachments in Clear Aligner Therapy” is an interactive workshop designed for dental students and young dental professionals who wish to enhance their knowledge and practical skills in orthodontic treatment using clear aligners.

The workshop focuses on the role of attachments in optimizing tooth movements and improving the predictability of orthodontic treatment.

During this workshop, participants will explore:

• The fundamental principles of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners;
• The importance and role of attachments in achieving controlled tooth movements;
• Hands-on session: Attachment placement through practical exercises and demonstrations on dental models.

The workshop combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, focusing on understanding the principles of clear aligner therapy and developing the practical skills required for accurate and effective attachment placement in orthodontic practice.

The workshop covers this entire process from start to finish. In the first part, Dr Tiberiu Andrei presents a structured method for treatment planning: from diagnosis and initial analysis, to setting objectives, sequencing the stages and selecting therapeutic solutions. The plan thus becomes a clear list of requirements that the subsequent stages must adhere to.
In the second part, Dr Andreea Mihaela Custura demonstrates what happens when the intraoral scan fails to convey these requirements. The most common errors are discussed: unclear preparation margins, moisture and bleeding, incorrect occlusal registrations, missing areas in the scan, image overlap errors and incorrect positioning of scan bodies. For each, the presentation highlights the consequence for the restoration and how it can be prevented in clinical practice.

Dr Camelia Roman graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry at the ‘Iuliu Hațieganu’ University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Cluj-Napoca in 2014. Passionate about prophylaxis, she undertook the iTOP (Individually Trained Oral Prophylaxis) course under the guidance of Prof. Dr Jiří Sedelmayer. Since 2016, she has been an iTOP Lecturer and Teacher and delivers courses and presentations at international events. She is a member of YDW (Young Dentists Worldwide) and OTM (Organisation of Young Doctors), and in 2019 she was a speaker at the National Congress of the Indian Society of Periodontology. The workshop will cover modern concepts regarding biofilm and the importance of prophylaxis in maintaining oral health.

Mihai Gavrilescu is a specialist in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics, with a passion for biomechanics and dental alignment treatments. He is a graduate of the Orthodontic Biomechanics Summer School in Italy. He is a national and international speaker, involved in courses and presentations dedicated to innovation and efficiency in orthodontic treatments.
How do we select the cases in which mini-implants truly alter the treatment plan? Drawing on clinical cases, the course explores the modern applications of skeletal anchorage and the biomechanical decisions behind them. We will discuss indications, planning and the integration of mini-implants into orthodontic treatments, with a focus on controlling tooth movement and practical solutions that enhance the predictability of outcomes.

The approach is connecting all required specialties under one unified vision. This ensures every aspect of the treatment supports the others, delivering harmony, precision, and predictability.

Dr. Cristian Giucoane graduated the Dental Medicine Faculty from UMF "Victor Babes" Timisoara in 2019. Since then his practice is limited to endodontics working in different clinics from Timisoara, Arad and Bucharest.

He is one of the world’s best-known and most highly regarded speakers and trainers in dental photography, presenting both his artistic vision and his own photographic concepts and techniques as part of the ‘Esthetics Through the Lens’ course, on stages across Europe, the USA, Asia, South America and Africa, to more than 1,700 dentists from over 45 countries. Over the years, he has had the opportunity to collaborate with, mentor or share the stage with leading figures in the field of dentistry, such as Florin Cofar, Paulo Kano, Eric van Dooren, Pascal Magne, Ricardo Kern, Jordi Manauta and others. He is a Key Opinion Leader and brand ambassador for established brands such as SONY, Hensel and Pascal Dental USA, an honorary member of several international Smile Design academies, as well as a permanent member of the jury for the international ‘Smile of the Year’ competition, organised by Dental Tribune International.

Dental aesthetics would not have reached its current level without photography as a fundamental tool. Yet none of this would exist if the eyes, the heart and the mind did not constantly work together.

In this workshop, we present the digital workflow for creating a fully anatomical dental bridge in Exocad, followed by importing the design into Blender for Dental for precise separation into two components: a bar (substructure/framework) and a shell (aesthetic surface). This technique combines the advantages of monolithic design with control over thicknesses, cementation space and mechanical strength, resulting in a strong and aesthetically pleasing restoration. Participants will learn the essential steps, from the initial design right through to the export of files ready for milling.

We’re closing the congress the right way. After intense days of presentations, workshops, and networking, it’s time to relax, raise a glass, and celebrate everything we’ve built together. Didn’t include the Gala in your package? You still have a chance to join us — spots are limited!
