Digital Technology in Facial Prosthetics Workshop

“Digital technology has found application in treatment pathways for patients with facial prostheses for several decades. The integration of technology has been a fluid process that continues to evolve as new technologies become available. Digital technologies provide unprecedented predictability in facial prosthetic treatment and enable strong interdisciplinary communication. When employed correctly these tools can improve the efficiency of treatment and help to make novel processes feasible. 

  This workshop will provide individuals with an opportunity to explore how digital technologies can be applied to facial prosthetic treatment pathways. A combination of discussion and computer-based exercises will be used to explore concepts related to Auricular, Orbital and Nasal prosthetic treatment pathways. 

  This course is intended for participants who are well versed in osseointegrated facial prosthetic treatment. There will be a significant emphasis on processes related to implant retained prostheses, including surgical planning and the design of retentive components.”
