Digital dentures are both increasingly appealing and ever evolving — modern-day substitutes for antiquated materials and methods finally advancing on pace with the rest of the dental industry.
Yet, in the pursuit of better products from the lab, we in the clinic seem to have settled for less in terms of protocols and patient management. But with the acquisition capability of intraoral scanners and the production capacity of 3D printers, we now have control over our systems and our services which brings us consistency, efficiency, and affordability at every step of the denture treatment cycle.
Finally, we have a practical pathway to bring dentures up to date with the rest of 21st century digital dentistry.
In this presentation, Dr. Johnson explains the process of denture-specific digital data gathering, designing, printing and characterizing from consult to completion to multiply patient satisfaction, clinic profitability with less time and stress than ever before.
Digital dental technology has redefined so many procedures, it’s now easier to count the things we still do the old way rather than the new. However, pediatric dentistry hasn’t had the same practical opportunity to adopt even common modern solutions like CAD/CAM crowns and digital impressions.
Now that we have quick, capable, affordable intraoral scanners, the return on investment is often as simple substituting alginate impressions. But the value doesn’t stop there. By combining the advantages of 3D scanning with the clinical speed requirements of pediatric dentistry, the future of prefabricated crowns is more efficient, effective, and easier than ever before. With seamlessly integrated software integrated with the OVO IOS, the digital age of pediatric dentistry has officially begun!
