Digitalization of the Dental Branch

It is already quite common for the patient's oral situation to be assessed digitally by means of intraoral scanners or by means of mold or model scanning. This affects important subsequent processing and production steps such as the production of the dental prostheses, as well as the dental models. This digital three-dimensional data can be processed directly and without a molding-induced loss in precision by means of metal laser sintering, for example in order to produce crowns and bridges. A second set of data contains the digital description of the dental model, ready for polymer laser sintering. Both of these forms of individualized series production are based on e Manufacturing - the quick, flexible, and inexpensive production of parts directly from electronic data. Laser-sintering permits dental labs and service providers to perform the virtually impossible balancing act between a standardized process with consistent high quality of the end products on the one hand and cost efficiency and time savings on the other.

Advantages

• weed out error sources
• consistent high quality of the medical product guaranteed
• conventional dental impressions become redundant
• processing times will be reduced
