ioConnect vs Photogrammetry – Full Arch Accuracy Without the Complexity

Course Overview

Join Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny for an in-depth exploration of the evolving landscape of full-arch implant restoration workflows. This comprehensive webinar compares traditional photogrammetry systems with the newer horizontal scanbody solutions, specifically focusing on the TruAbutment ioConnect system.

Dr. Ahmad shares his extensive hands-on experience testing multiple systems in his busy practice, providing you with objective insights into what actually works in real-world clinical situations.

What You’ll Learn

In this session, you’ll discover:

• The fundamental challenges with scanning full-arch implants using traditional intraoral scanners
• Why verification jigs became obsolete and how photogrammetry revolutionized full-arch workflows
• The evolution of horizontal scanbody systems and how they’re changing the industry
• Detailed comparison between photogrammetry devices (PIC, ICAM, Imetric) and horizontal scanbody solutions
• Step-by-step clinical workflow for the TruAbutment ioConnect system
• Accuracy thresholds – what’s clinically acceptable for passive fit (spoiler: 50 microns or better)
• Latest research findings comparing different full-arch scanning methodologies
• Cost-benefit analysis – when does a $5,000 solution make more sense than a $50,000 device?
• Practical troubleshooting tips including scanner-specific considerations (especially TRIOS workflows)

Why This Matters for Your Practice

Full-arch implant restorations represent some of the most challenging and rewarding cases in dentistry. Dr. Ahmad breaks down the complexities and shows you how modern horizontal scanbody systems can deliver predictable results without the massive investment traditionally required for photogrammetry equipment.

Whether you’re just starting with full-arch cases or looking to streamline your existing workflow, this webinar provides the practical insights you need to make informed decisions about your digital dentistry setup.
