Cone Beam CT and CAD/CAM for Optimal Digital Workflow

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging is becoming the new standard of care for complete patient information. These images provide multi-dimensional views of all parts of the tooth and gum line, including the mandibular canal, making it an invaluable dental equipment for planning implant cases and other restorative treatments.

Now, considering the combination of these details below the gingival line with the image of the intraoral scan, the highest resolution of the data above the gum line can be captured. This combination of CBCT DICOM data and STL data from the CAD / CAM source enables the physician to provide the coronal implant plan with the required information and level of organization. In most cases, STL data can also be used by laboratories to create final surgical guidelines for placing implants with unmatched accuracy and speed. Temporary and final restoration crowns can be milled in the office in minutes or labs milled within 24 hours.

Planmeca leverages the ProMax 3D Imaging Unit family and the Planmeca FIT System (CAD / CAM) technology to provide physicians
More detail than ever before in data acquisition.

Planmeca Imaging and CAD / CAM solutions work seamlessly with a variety of dental technologies to provide a fully digital workflow that can be fixed both indoors and outdoors.
Simplify digital workflow
Digital dentistry is simplifying all aspects of a restorative workflow. Traditionally, doctors submitted a physical impression to the lab using prescriptions and instructions written on paper. This is gradually being fully digitized with the patient's information and the doctor's instructions electronically sent to the lab via the electronic impression system. Planmeca PlanScan's restorations are available within days of the laboratory receiving a patient's intra-oral scan, and the functionality of the office mill unit such as the Planmeca PlanMill 40 makes the day's dental technology a reality. The use of digital impressions and CBCT scans of the prosthesis generated by the Planmeca FIT system can reduce the cost and time required to change teeth,

For those who still want to work with the lab, all patient information needed to generate a model-free fix can be digitally submitted to the dental lab. Before committing each case, the clinician enters the patient's information and prescription data into the software of their digital impression system. Because the Planmeca FIT system is an open system, dental teams can send files in the standard STL format, so it is easy to exchange patient data across most systems with Planmeca Romexis software.

Open architecture maximizes profitability
By establishing interoperability among in-mouth scanners, CAD / CAM software and other dental systems, data standardization is crucial to reducing the costs for patients, doctors and laboratories. Ultimately, the common standard allows different systems for dental care to act as plug-and-play dental supplies without the need for costly IT solutions, reducing the cost of integrating these new technologies into dental practice and maximizing the ROI of the device rate. Planmeca Imaging and CAD / CAM, as well as the Planmeca Romexis digital treatment planning software, are using this idea to improve the efficiency, predictability and cost-effectiveness of dental restorations and make dentistry a lucrative investment for dentists looking to practice And provide the latest patient.
