Abstract:
Patients no longer must endure the “goo”, “mess” and “gagging” of traditional impression taking! Fast, highly accurate, no “mess” intraoral digital scanning has evolved to vastly improve the world of both patient and dentist! Highly accurate digital data allows equally accurate 3D printed models to be created in the dental office for everyday use. Dentistry has left the “Stone Ages” of fragile, inaccurate, messy gypsum models! Computers are now used to trim 3D printed models rather than using “stone age” grinders. Specific purpose made polymers is used with in-office 3D printers to 3D print accurate 3D models, surgical guides and provisional restorations. Patients can now have teeth replaced with implants so accurate that the restorations can be premade and delivered at the time of implant placement. Patients can walk out with new implants and new teeth! A wide range of specific case examples will be presented.
