Dentium Highlights CT-Centered Digital Workflow Strategies at “Digital Reality” Seminar
Dentium recently drew significant attention from the dental community by presenting practical strategies for digital collaboration across clinical practice, laboratory workflows, and dental staff communication.
Held on April 4 at Dentium’s Gwanggyo headquarters, the “Digital Reality” seminar focused on a clinic–lab integrated digital workflow built around bright CT and intraoral scanner technologies.
The seminar brought together dentists, dental hygienists, and dental technicians in a multidisciplinary format, allowing each group to share its role-specific expertise and clinical perspectives.
Rather than simply introducing digital devices, the program emphasized practical implementation strategies and collaborative workflows applicable to real clinical environments, which resonated strongly with attendees.
In the opening lecture, Dr. Sung-Min Jung (Dentium Dental Clinic) introduced a CT-centered clinical approach utilizing bright CT, emphasizing the role of CT data not only in diagnosis but throughout the entire treatment process.
As low-dose imaging technologies continue to advance, the clinical applications of CT are rapidly expanding.
Dr. Jung explained how bright CT’s MAR (Metal Artifact Reduction) technology enables clearer imaging even in the presence of metallic restorations, supporting downstream digital processes such as virtual model generation.
He also highlighted AI-powered airway and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) analysis functions that provide quantitative measurements and visualized data,
demonstrating how digital diagnostics can simultaneously improve diagnostic capabilities and patient communication.
In the following session, dental technician Dae-Young Yoon presented the digital workflow from the laboratory perspective. Using clinical cases,
he demonstrated facial analysis based on bright CT’s hard and soft tissue extraction functions, as well as virtual setup workflows utilizing integrated CT and IOS data.
Particular interest was generated around the AI Occlusal Plane feature within Dentium 3D Viewer, which was showcased across a range of applications
—from oral diagnosis and virtual setup to patient consultation and cases requiring vertical dimension (VD) modification. T
he session highlighted how AI-assisted workflows can streamline communication between clinicians and laboratories while improving treatment planning efficiency.
Next, Sung-Hee Park, a dental hygienist at Dentium Dental Clinic, focused on the practical implementation of digital workflows within the operatory environment.
Drawing from real clinical experience, she introduced clinical applications of the AI Occlusal Plane feature for full-mouth rehabilitation and orthodontic patient consultations,
as well as optimized CT imaging and intraoral scanning protocols designed to maximize both workflow efficiency and clinical accuracy.
Her presentation demonstrated how digital technologies are evolving beyond simple supportive tools to become core elements that reshape the overall treatment workflow.
In the latter part of the seminar, Dentium’s digital solutions were explored in greater depth.
Professor Jae-Young Kim (Department of Prosthodontics, Yonsei University) discussed the limitations and potential inaccuracies associated with traditional analog workflows based on facebows and wax rims.
He then introduced a digital alternative utilizing CT data and Dentium 3D Viewer’s AI Occlusal Plane function.
By analyzing anatomical landmarks, the software automatically proposes a facial midline and occlusal plane, simplifying complex restorative procedures while reducing both clinician workload and patient discomfort.
Professor Kim emphasized the clinical advantages of a workflow that enhances predictability while minimizing manual adjustments and communication errors.
The final lecture was delivered by Dr. Ha-Young Kim (Woorideul Prosthodontic Dental Clinic), who shared practical experiences using Dentium Digital Guide Software for implant placement.
She identified inaccurate implant positioning as one of the major causes of implant complications and emphasized the importance of digitally guided surgical approaches.
The presentation particularly focused on AI-assisted correction systems that automatically compensate for potential errors during CT-IOS data matching and fixture positioning stages.
Dr. Kim explained how these technologies contribute to improved surgical accuracy, reproducibility, and overall procedural predictability.
The seminar was especially meaningful in that it was not limited to a single professional group, but instead demonstrated how dentists, dental hygienists, and dental technicians can each utilize and connect digital workflows within their respective roles.
By integrating the accumulated expertise of multiple disciplines into a single workflow, the event presented a clear vision of “digital dentistry built together,” rather than isolated digital workflows performed independently.
A Dentium representative commented, “The core objective of digital dentistry today is to simplify complex procedures, improve clinical predictability, and maximize collaborative efficiency.
Dentium will continue to introduce practical digital strategies and solutions that can be directly implemented in real clinical practice.”
