Thanks to development in the field of dental technology,
dentists can provide patients with more convenient and more successful
treatment should a person require dental
implants. Using CAD CAM (computer-assisted design, computer-assisted
manufacturing) technology, dentists can map the contours and details of your
mouth without messy dental putty, uncomfortable casts, and imprecise results.
For a patient dental crowns and implants brides are made in the lab using the this technology. The CAD CAM
technology benefits the pre-planning
phase of your treatment, the procedure itself, and the creation of patient’s restoration.
iTero™
An iTero™ scanner enables a dentist to make a 3D map of teeth, jaw and gums. These images are then manipulated on a
computer and used as a model for the tooth –colored restoration. iTero™ scanner can be used to make dental crowns, bridges, and dentures. This results in precise
results. iTero™ scanner also
helps in educating a patient on their treatment option. With the help of the . iTero™ scanner dentists can now show the
patient clear, easy to read pictures to explain what is the problem and how it
can be treated.
Technology
gives dentists an added advantage over
the traditional planning and x-rays. The
best part with the usage of iTero™
scanner is that it does not emit any kind of radioactive waves or harmful
lights thus making it perfectly safe for usage.
Also it can used to evaluate the soft tissues in the mouth as the as the
teeth and jawbone to make sure that a
patient’s oral health is perfect condition before initiating dental implant
procedure.
By the time a
patient’s restoration reaches the manufacturing phase, dentists use CAD CAM technology to mill the patient’s prosthetics for an individualized fit. Using
precise measurements and computer
controlled fabrications, the machine can
make a restoration that fits in the patient’s mouth perfectly and restores the
person’s ability to chew, eat and speak normally. Another benefit of using this technology is that a restoration can be made in a matter of hours thus
removing the need of multiple appointments with the dentists.
