DIGITAL IMPRESSION
It is becoming increasingly evident that digital technologies are here to stay in dentistry. Specifically, digital CAD/CAM technologies are proven to be beneficial for patients and dentists, bringing the possibility of making chairside and laboratory assisted restorations to every dental practice.
SINGLE-VISIT DESIGN
Mill and place the restoration in one visit. Some advantages of the single visit
option include reduction of chair time, elimination of the need for a temporary
and an additional injection, and added control over the final restoration. With
sufficient practice and training, the design phase can be as short as 2 to 3
minutes and with the upgraded MC XL milling unit the mill speed can be as quick
as 4 to 6 minutes (depending on partial or full coverage).
MULTIVISIT DESIGN
Upload the image, using CEREC Connect, to a dental laboratory equipped with an
inLab milling unit to create and complete the restoration. (This can be done in
most any material, including gold.)
As with any new process or technology introduction, CAD/CAM and digital impression systems have a learning curve and will likely take some time to master. Much of your success in using these systems will depend on the level of preparation and competency associated with the handling of the software and other equipment involved.
