This webinar will explore how digital diagnostics, visualizations for patient communication and preventive care workflows can be meaningfully integrated into dental education and institutional clinical programs. Attendees will learn how intraoral scanning, diagnostic visualization and patient-engagement tools can support earlier disease identification, enable better tracking and documentation over time, improve communication with patients and reinforce preventive care behaviors. The session will discuss practical approaches for incorporating these tools into predoctoral and postgraduate curricula, faculty workflows and assessment strategies. Real-world academic use cases will demonstrate how digital workflows can enhance student learning, interdisciplinary collaboration and research opportunities while maintaining clinical efficiency. The presentation will conclude with a guided demonstration and open Q&A focused on implementation considerations for dental schools and teaching clinics.
Note: This event does not offer continuing education (CE) credit.

- Explain the role of digital diagnostics in dental education and how intraoral scanning and visualization tools can support earlier detection, risk assessment, patient communication and preventive care decision-making.
- Identify practical methods for integrating digital workflows into curricula and clinic operations, including faculty calibration, student competencies and documentation within institutional clinical environments.
