You don’t want to miss Dr. Elaine Halley at this year’s exocad Insights.

Multidisciplinary cases often start with getting aligned on a treatment plan that may involve orthodontic alignment, restorative design, and close collaboration between clinicians and laboratories to bring that vision to life. When this is done right, the integration can help deliver better clinical outcomes and patient experience.

But without a coordinated digital workflow, aligning those steps can become complex.

At exocad Insights 2026, Dr. Elaine Halley will explore how digital tools can support this process in her session:

“Simplify multidisciplinary planning with Smile Architect™ and exocad™.”

The session will look at how orthodontic planning with Invisalign Smile Architect™ can connect with restorative design in exocad™, helping clinicians and laboratories collaborate earlier in the treatment process and plan cases more predictably.

What’s the best way to make your work more accurate, to avoid remakes? Dr. Mangano shares his research at exocad Insights.

When working with full-arch implant restorations, accuracy is everything. Even small deviations can affect prosthetic fit, making precise data capture essential for both clinicians and laboratories.

If you’re heading to exocad Insights 2026, you can hear Dr. Francesco Mangano present the results of his research, which has been published in the Journey of Dentistry:

“Is Top-Tier IOS Closing the Gap? Full-Arch Implant Trueness vs. Photogrammetry.”

A clinician, researcher, and international speaker in digital dentistry, Dr. Mangano has authored more than 100 scientific publications and has played a key role in advancing research and education in digital workflows. See you there. 🤩

A recent article in DDS Magazine takes a closer look at how integrated workflows are reshaping restorative dentistry.​

In the article, you will learn:​

• How integrated CAD platforms, such as the iTero™ Design Suite, consolidate scanning, design, and production into a single connected workflow. ​
• Why reducing manual handoffs between systems can support more efficient, single-visit dentistry. ​
• How AI-assisted design features are helping clinicians simplify chairside workflows and adopt digital tools with greater confidence. ​​

Read the full article in Issue #10, pages 28-35, where Dr. Diogo Viegas, prosthodontist and Assistant Professor at Lisbon Dental School, shares his clinical perspective on how integrated digital workflows are reshaping restorative dentistry: https://bit.ly/iTero_Digital-Dentistry​

Speed has a direct impact on how efficiently you move through every patient appointment.

With the iTero Lumina™ intraoral scanner, efficiency is built into every step of the scanning process:​

• Capture single unit crowns through to full arch preparations in a single pass, supporting a more streamlined and consistent workflow.​
• Complete scans 2x¹ faster compared to the iTero Element™ 5D imaging system, helping reduce chair time and keep schedules on track.​
• Experience a 3x larger field of view² with technology designed to capture more surface area in each frame, enabling faster and more efficient scanning.

That means faster scans, more efficient workflows, and time back in the day. Discover how the iTero Lumina intraoral scanner can help optimize your workflow: https://bit.ly/iTero-Lumina

Help patients envision what their potential future smile could look like.​

With Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro, you can bring potential outcomes to life chairside, in minutes. The technology includes:

✨ In-face visualization and 3D model view to support clearer, more engaging consultations.​
✨ Realistic simulations powered by advanced algorithms.​
✨ Cloud-based access so simulations are available anytime, without needing to rerun them.

When patients can see what is possible, conversations shift. In fact, doctors reported a median 50% increase in Invisalign® case starts after using Invisalign Outcome Simulator Pro.¹

Explore how visualization can support your treatment discussions in the white paper by Dr. Bart Iwasiuk and Debbie Khedoo. Link is here: https://bit.ly/iTero_Align-Education_Practice-Growth​

Seeing the possibilities changes the conversation.

Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro allowed Dr. Marta Baird to present two visually distinct treatment options to a patient with spacing and small upper laterals, helping them decide whether to close spaces with interproximal reduction or prepare for restorative work.

After seeing a realistic simulation, the patient chose the restorative route. This visual decision-making process helped ensure the treatment plan aligned with the patient’s goals. Next, Dr. Baird could collaborate with the restorative doctor in a multidisciplinary way using the Invisalign® Smile Architect.

Explore the full case study to see how multiple simulations support clearer, more collaborative treatment conversations. Link is here: https://bit.ly/iTero_Align-Education_Lumina​
