Traditional wax-up techniques have long been a staple in planning and executing direct dental veneers. However, they often present significant limitations in terms of precision, efficiency, and clinical predictability. Manual wax-ups can be time-consuming, inconsistent, and difficult to translate accurately Into the patient’s mouth-especially when used as a guide for direct composite restorations.

This lecture explores the evolution from conventional wax-ups to a fully digital workflow. By leveraging digital design software and 3D printing technology, clinicians can now produce highly accurate diagnostic wax-ups that serve as precise, predictable guides for direct veneer procedures. The digitally guided approach enhances clinical outcomes, improves communication with patients and the dental team, and significantly reduces chairside time.

Attendees will gain insight into the advantages of digital planning and how to integrate these tools into their everyday practice, from scanning and digital designz to mock-up fabrication and final veneering application. The session is ideal for dental professionals seeking to modernize their approach and improve both aesthetic and functional results through digital innovation.
