The integration of digital tools in dental education is essential for preparing students from foundational knowledge to clinical expertise. This short talk session features diverse examples from six presenters across disciplines, demonstrating how virtual simulations, CAD/CAM, 3D imaging and digital radiography are being used in didactic, preclinical and clinical settings. Presenters will share practical applications that improve student engagement, skill development and clinical readiness. The session is designed to spark dialogue and equip attendees with strategies adaptable to their own curricula, regardless of where their students are in their educational journey.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize the role of digital tools in supporting learning from basic sciences to clinical decision-making in dental education.
  • Describe how virtual simulations, 3D imaging, CAD/CAM and digital radiography can be used across didactic, preclinical and clinical settings.
  • Assess the impact of digital integration on engagement and clinical preparedness and formulate strategies to incorporate these tools into their teaching.
