Programme Introduction
About this programme
🦷 Dental Practice
✅ Hands-On Skills
📋 Case-Based Learning
Digital dentistry — intraoral scanners, CAD-CAM systems, and 3D printing — is changing how restorations and appliances are designed and produced, often replacing conventional impression and lab-based workflows.
Understanding these technologies means seeing how digital scanning captures data, how CAD-CAM software designs a restoration, and how 3D printing or milling turns that design into a physical result.
TerraLeap’s Digital Dentistry Essentials course is a CME-aligned programme covering intraoral scanners, CAD-CAM, and 3D printing, for dental students, clinicians, and assistants.
The course covers intraoral scanning technology and technique, CAD-CAM design and production workflow, and 3D printing applications in dental practice.
Hands-on skill, clinical confidence — built for real dental practice.
