The DGOI is part of an international network and is therefore proud to welcome the Digital Dentistry Society International (DDS) for a pre-congress. As the digital future of dentistry is today, greatest leaders of contemporary digital dentistry will demonstrate workflows of innovative technologies, ranging from latest hard- and software products to the vast potentials of the "virtual patient" in dentistry. This course contains a set of lectures taken at the 2018 DDS-DGOI Precongress in Munich.
