3D Printing of Definitive Restorations
From Digital Design to Clinical Cementation
Madrid · 10 and 11 April 2026 · In-person · Spanish
Training Objectives
The training programme was developed to raise the level of professionals who wish to master 3D printing applied to oral rehabilitation, from the technical execution of definitive restorations to the implementation of an efficient, accurate and highly profitable digital workflow.
Over two intensive days, participants acquire advanced skills in digital design, handling of definitive resins, ceramic reinforcement, print optimisation and post-processing, while also understanding all the details that ensure predictability, aesthetics and long-term clinical performance.
The objective is for each participant to leave fully prepared to produce their own 3D-printed definitive restorations, significantly reduce dependence on dental laboratories, increase practice profitability and incorporate digital technology as an immediate competitive advantage.
The final outcome is a professional capable of producing clinically excellent restorations with speed, cost-efficiency and precision, integrating 3D printing into daily practice with safety, confidence and full autonomy.
Benefits
Mastery of the Digital Workflow
Learn the entire 3D printing process, from design to final finishing, ensuring accuracy and predictability.
Cost Reduction and Increased Profitability
Produce low-cost restorations and significantly reduce dependence on dental laboratories, increasing the clinic’s profit margin.
Clinical Insight and Advanced Aesthetics
Develop the ability to interpret form, optics and dental anatomy to achieve high-level aesthetic results.

Course Added Value:
Course Added Value:
This course was designed for dentists who wish to take full control over the production of definitive 3D-printed restorations, while simultaneously enhancing clinical quality, digital workflow efficiency and practice profitability.
Throughout the training, participants develop a complete mastery of the digital workflow, understanding all stages of the process — from design and planning to final finishing — with a focus on accuracy, predictability and clinical repeatability. This approach enables the safe and consistent integration of 3D printing into daily practice.
One of the key added values is the significant reduction in laboratory costs, enabling the in-house production of definitive restorations at a low unit cost. As a result, professionals increase their profit margin per case and build a more sustainable and independent business model.
The course also provides strong development of clinical judgement and advanced aesthetics, empowering dentists to correctly interpret form, optics and dental anatomy. Participants learn to reproduce natural biomimetic effects, such as halo, translucency, incisal nuances and microtexture, achieving high-level aesthetic results with realism.
Another important differentiator is the complete mastery of professional post-processing and finishing, including cleaning, curing, marginal adjustment and aesthetic characterisation protocols, applied in a methodical and replicable manner, ensuring clinical safety and restoration longevity.
In the field of cementation, the course addresses current, high-performance adhesion protocols, ensuring stability, mechanical strength and long-term clinical durability of 3D-printed restorations.
The training also includes intensive supervised hands-on practice, allowing participants to leave with immediate autonomy to implement the entire digital workflow in their practice from day one, with confidence and security.
As an essential complement, dentists develop skills in professional clinical photography, learning how to record, document and present their cases with appropriate visual quality for both clinical control and professional communication and marketing.
Finally, the course grants SIGO Certification, issued by the Information and Management System for Educational and Training Provision, with national and international recognition under Directives 89/48/EEC and 92/51/EEC, enhancing professional qualifications in Portugal and throughout the European Union.
