The intraoral scanner makes the fingerprint directly in the patient's oral cavity without the use of impression materials which were quite difficult to support and required more procedures. In addition, the time taken to perform dental work is considerably reduced and crowns or prosthetic work can be done in the same day.
Viewing the 3D models on the computer screen before they are actually made makes it possible for the entire team of professionals involved to check every last detail, the work resulting from the use of CAD/CAM systems being of maximum accuracy (margin of error < 10 microns), while being much more resistant.
In the OfficeDent clinic we use the world-leading Sirona CEREC system that allows automatic transmission of the whiteness of the teeth, so the doctor has the possibility to highlight certain areas and transmit them digitally to the laboratory together with the dental impression.
In addition, this time of digital intraoral scanner comes with the tremendous benefit of 3D visualization in real colors of patients' teeth and tissues, so the treatment outcome becomes predictable, reliable, and eliminates human error almost completely.
The computer-aided design and fabrication of prosthetic dental restorations results in a much faster turnaround time due to the reduction in the number of steps involved in making this type of restoration.
