The most comprehensive hands-on digital dentistry & occlusion program
A 4-month residency that takes you from your first single-crown design to dual-arch full-mouth rehabilitation, with occlusion mastery integrated into every level. Online lectures, live sessions, Voxelhub case evaluation and 27 on-site practical days in Cairo and Riyadh.
- Master exocad from basics to full-arch and All-on-X design
- Hands-on occlusion: records, articulators, equilibration, canine guidance vs group function
- 3D smile design, guided tooth preparation, virtual patient
- Access to Voxelway's full digital lab and clinic, SOP handbook and Voxelhub design evaluation

You bought the scanner. Now what?
Most dentists go digital by buying hardware, then get stuck between the scan and a restoration that actually fits and functions.
"I can scan, but I depend on the lab for every design decision."
"My patient keeps saying the crown feels high, but I can't find the spot."
"Full-arch and All-on-X cases feel impossible. Where do I even start?"
"Digital scans and occlusion never match what I see in the mouth."
Everything you need to run a digital practice with confidence
150+ lectures, live demos & workshops
Structured recorded curriculum plus online live lectures with Dr. Mostafa Salah.
On-site hands-on design days
27 practical days in Cairo and Riyadh: design on real cases, clinical occlusion workshops on articulators and patients.
Voxelhub design evaluation
Submit your own designs and get on-demand expert evaluation through our online case-evaluation system.
Voxelway SOP handbook
Our standard operating protocols for every digital workflow: use them in your clinic the next morning.
Mobile app, 24/7 access & support
All lectures, recordings and resources in your pocket, plus one-to-one online sessions when you need them.
Access to a full digital lab & clinic
Learn inside a working digital lab and a fully digital clinic, not a classroom.
Digital design track: 7 levels, basic to advanced
Each level pairs recorded lectures with on-site practical days, so every concept is applied on real cases before you move on.
- exocad DB features, program interface, case registration, data collection, tools, shortcuts and mouse commands
- Posterior and anterior crown design; anterior crowns with the mirroring tool to mimic natural morphology
- Vertical vs horizontal preparation design; perfecting margin-line detection
- Single crown over implant stock abutment (anterior and posterior); offset coping and coping
- Onlay, inlay, endocrown and partial-coverage designs; intaglio surface parameters
- Crown margin design per material and milling machine; biological and aesthetic design considerations
- Exporting files from exocad to other CAD/CAM systems
- Correcting impression flaws; mesh editing strategies; importing multiple scans for one case
- Path of insertion, handling sharp and imperfect preparations, proper occlusion for bridges
- Connector and pontic design parameters; posterior, anterior and bonded (Maryland) bridges
- Expert mode, model creator for digital impressions, cutback techniques, carving digital morphology
- Changing tooth libraries and design parameters per material; anterior veneer design; mirroring anterior bridges
- Upper and lower posterior quadrant design over implants and natural teeth, with quadrant occlusion design
- Upper and lower anterior quadrant design over implants and natural teeth

- Full denture and flipper denture design; virtual articulator setup; occlusal adjustment based on 3D dynamic motion
- Smile design for full-arch cases; gingival design for FP3 prostheses
- Full-arch scanning techniques for dual arches; recording jaw relations in centric relation; facebow and jaw-motion workflow; jaw tracer and advanced articulator
- Dual-arch design on centric relation using pre-operative scans; upper and lower denture design
- Screw-retained and cement-retained dual-arch restorations; full-mouth prosthesis over custom abutments
