Digital “impressions” are more comfortable for patients, faster for the staff, and are able to produce highly accurate images that contribute to the perfect fitting appliance.
Our 3Shape TRIOS® scanner has greatly streamlined the workflow in our office. Very often the discussions surrounding scanners pertain just to crown and bridge applications, which is logical given how much of the average dentist’s day is devoted to these procedures. But digital scanners have capabilities far beyond crowns and bridges, as you can see here.
Here at AzTMJ our digital scans give us the ability to immediately see the “impression” on the chairside screen and to magnify it to examine every aspect in detail. In addition to being much faster than a conventional impression, this process virtually guarantees that the Dr. Farrell will send our lab a complete and accurate “impression.” If something doesn’t look right, it can be rescanned in a matter of seconds. It’s no longer necessary to send an impression off to the lab and hope it pours up OK.
