Digital Impressioning Will Support Conventional and CAD/CAM Processes
With the 3M™ ESPE™ Lava™ Chairside Oral Scanner (C.O.S.), doctors and labs will be uniquely positioned for the future of digital dentistry. By leveraging our expertise in impressioning, scanning technology, and systems integration, we will enable digital workfl ows with numerous possibilities. The C.O.S. will position you to take advantage of the best of traditional technology and the multitude of evolving technologies.
1. Digital Impression
Dentist captures digital impression,reviews it for accuracy and sends the digital prescription to authorized lab to initiate a wide range of digital production processes.
2. Digitally Cut Die and Mark Margin
The lab downloads the digital fi le and uses customized software to digitally cut the die and mark the margin.
3. Virtual Ditching and Bite Registration
3M ESPE receives the digital fi le where it is virtually ditched and the data is seamlessly articulated with the operative, opposing and bite scans.
4a. CAD/CAM Process (Lava Restoration)
Concurrent Manufacturing
A virtual model is simultaneously sent to the authorized lab and the model manufacturing facility. While the lab is creating the coping, a technologically advanced stereolithography (SLA) model is also being created, replacing traditional stone model production.
4b. Traditional Process (PFM)
Model Manufacturing
At the model manufacturing facility, a technologically advanced stereolithography (SLA) model is generated, which replaces traditional stone model production.
5. Finishing
The SLA model is sent to the lab, where a technician can utilize the preferred fi nishing technique to create the fi nal restoration and then send it to the doctor for seating. |
