Virtual Facebow: The Future of Prosthodontics

Overview

The evolution of digital dentistry is transforming the way prosthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, and rehabilitation are approached. One of the most exciting developments in this field is the Virtual Facebow, which offers a digital alternative to conventional facebow procedures and opens new possibilities for accurate, efficient, and predictable prosthodontic workflows.

In this comprehensive online lecture on IIDR, Dr. Sanjana Agrawal will take participants through the fundamentals of the Virtual Facebow and its relevance in contemporary prosthodontics. This session will explore how digital facial scanning, intraoral scanning, jaw relation records, and virtual articulation can be integrated to reproduce the patient’s maxillomandibular relationship within a digital environment.

This lecture will focus on the clinical application of Virtual Facebow technology, helping dentists understand where it can add value in restorative and prosthodontic treatment. However, participants will also gain insights into how digital workflows can improve communication between the clinician, laboratory, and patient while enhancing treatment planning and predictability.
