Are impressions leaving a bad taste in your patients’ mouth?

With technology on the rise in dentistry today, the big buzz seems to be around Digital Impression Technology. There are a few major companies that are developing the hardware and software to make this dream a reality. One such company already has the inter-oral scanning capability and by the end of 2008, will have the model making capability ready for production. That company is Cerec by Sirona. They have recently introduced a platform for doctors to transfer digital impressions to the lab of their choice for single unit full crown, inlay, and onlay products. This is available now and it is called Cerec Connect. Any doctor or lab can sign up for the platform by going to www.cerec-connect.com and best of all, it is completely free! Imagine not needing to take an impression on these types of cases tomorrow. As I told you before model making capabilities will be available by the end of 2008 and Cerec Connect will serve as the platform for that as well.
