“I’ve been working with Invisalign for many, many years, and I’m now using the Lumina, but I knew much more about Lumina after yesterday’s lecture—about how big the view can be. I kind of felt it by using it, but I didn’t know the measurement. So that was important for me. I will probably train my staff to be less precise about scanning, because what I saw today is that you can scan with Lumina really fast, and then when you push the button to continue, all the details just appear. So we don’t have to spend that much time on scanning.”
Dr Katarzyna Potoczek-Wallner“So first I have to say the speakers. Okay. Mind-blowing, world-famous speakers. The education has been amazing. Also amazing to meet so many people from around the world. All very skilled. So it's been pretty amazing rubbing shoulders with so many different people. I felt pretty honored being amongst so many talented people.”
Dr Usha Ramjas“Wonderful. I’d like to come back. Second to none, really. It’s wonderful, wonderful. I found everything I was expecting, so I’m so happy when I go back to my country. I will tell every single digital dentistry user to come and take this course. Really, it was so useful. It inspired me a lot.”
Dr Selim Pamuk“10 out of 10. It really is. This is the third time I’m coming to this function, and I’ve come back because it’s such an awesome experience. With the Agnini brothers, and now Christian getting involved, they’ve just raised the bar so much higher. I did this course last year, and it’s twice as good now—and last year was awesome. It really, really has been fantastic. Out of all the conferences I’ve been to in my life, this is definitely number one.”
Dr Cosma GiannakopoulosDentists who are expert users of the following major scanner systems will be presenting at the event: iTero, 3Shape, Biotech, PrimeScan, Medit, Carestream and Shining3D.
Plus Modjaw and PIC Dental.
This is the only course 100% focused on intraoral scanners, offering a comprehensive comparison of all major systems in a single event.

You'll leave with practical, actionable steps to integrate scanners into your workflow, making it a unique experience that delivers long-term value.
While free or cheaper courses may give you an overview, they are often limited to specific systems or lack hands-on training. The Intraoral Scanner Festival offers live demos, hands-on sessions, and unbiased expert guidance on all major systems. You’ll get real-world insights, side-by-side comparisons, and personalized advice to help you make the best investment for your practice—all of which translates to a far greater return on your investment.
While reviews and opinions from colleagues can be helpful, they are often subjective and influenced by individual experiences or sales pitches. This course provides objective, clinical comparisons across all major scanner systems, led by experts with no affiliation to a single manufacturer. You’ll get the facts and hands-on experience you need to make an informed, confident decision—something reviews can’t provide.
Absolutely. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your current scanner or optimize its use, this course will provide you with advanced tips, tricks, and workflows to maximize your scanner’s potential. You’ll learn about the latest upgrades, compare it against other systems, and discover ways to streamline your clinical procedures to deliver better patient outcomes with less effort.
We understand that time is valuable, especially for busy dental professionals.

You’ll leave the course with knowledge and skills that will save you significant time and effort in the future by optimizing your workflow, enhancing patient communication, and avoiding costly scanner investment mistakes.

Plus, you’ll be fully equipped with the knowledge to make the best decision when you’re ready to invest in new technology, ensuring your investment pays off.
Yes, the course is designed for practices of all sizes. Whether you’re a small practice looking to make a smart, high-ROI investment or a larger clinic looking to streamline workflows across multiple systems, the Intraoral Scanner Festival provides customized insights to help you implement the right solutions for your specific situation.
While scanners may seem similar at first glance, they each have unique strengths, limitations, and specific applications. Our course will show you how each system performs in different clinical workflows—whether it’s for diagnostics, implants, or restorations—so you can make an informed decision based on what’s best for your practice, not just marketing claims.
By learning how to fully leverage intraoral scanners, you can reduce chair time, enhance treatment accuracy, and improve patient communication—all of which lead to higher patient satisfaction and treatment acceptance rates.

Should you need more guidance, our team is always available to provide ongoing support, helping you fully integrate your scanner and digital workflows into your clinic. You will also have the opportunity to enroll in the suite of DSD courses to continue your digital dentistry transformation.
While the course is organized by DSD and benefits from our digital expertise, it’s not a typical DSD course. The Intraoral Scanner Festival and Ferrari Experience is an independent, collaborative event with a focus solely on intraoral scanners. We bring together top experts from all major scanner systems to offer unbiased, in-depth comparisons, but the curriculum is not tied to DSD workflows. You’ll experience the well-known DSD learning environment, but the content is specific to mastering scanner technology, not a full DSD digital solution.
Access to the DSD Planning Center is not a direct part of this course. However, if you’re interested in learning more about how to integrate DSD’s digital workflows into your practice, our team can provide you with information and support on how to access the Planning Center services separately after the event.
This course is designed for seasoned digital users or dentists who already understand the importance of intraoral scanners and want to master their full potential. It’s not a beginner’s course—our goal is to help experienced digital dentists take their knowledge to the next level by providing advanced tips, tricks, and in-depth comparisons of the most important scanner systems. If you’re ready to fully leverage your scanner and optimize your digital workflow, this course is perfect for you.
Absolutely. The content of this course is 100% practical, and you’ll be able to start applying what you’ve learned immediately. Whether it’s a new technique or a deeper understanding of your current scanner, the knowledge you gain will be something you can implement in your clinic the very next day. We’re focused on providing actionable insights that will help you make immediate improvements to your workflow and patient care.
No, you do not need to buy additional equipment or software to attend the course. The goal is to help you maximize the scanner you already have or to give you the insight to make the right choice if you're considering an upgrade. The course will teach you how to get the most out of your current technology, without the need for further investment. If you’re in the market for a new scanner, this course will guide you to make an informed decision without any pressure to buy during the event.
