Open Architecture for Chair Side CAD / CAM The Planmeca FIT ™ System is a digital workflow solution that combines oral scanning, 3D design and chair milling into a streamlined process. It provides physicians the tools to create and place precise, high-quality restorations in a single patient visit, while same-day dental treatment is both win-win for both patients and practice. Dr. Gary Kaye of New York City-based Kaye Dentistry, a Planplank user, has experienced rapid growth since adopting the system and has said it is attracting new patients to practice.
Dr. Kaye said: "The patient asks for the restoration of the day." They want them. In the past three years, only CAD / CAM has increased by 18%. "
Planmeca FIT ™ has three steps - digital in-port scanning, 3D design and field milling. The entire workflow runs on a software platform, so imaging and CAD / CAM work
Accessible through an interface.
When dental integration is done correctly, a practice will improve efficiency.
Planmeca PlanScan ™ intraoral scanner can be used with any Planmeca Dental Unit, like any other dental equipment, and shared among users. The tablet provides real-time scan data and audio alerts let the doctor or his staff know when the best data is available.
PlanmecaPlanCAD® design software provides a powerful tool for complex 3D designs. The finished design can be manufactured on-site using the PlanmecaPlanMill®40 milling unit or in the open STL file format to the lab. Although Dr. Kaye completed his single restoration in-house, he still used an external laboratory for complex recovery cases, and PlanScan has been a game changer in terms of speed and efficiency.
"With digital intra-oral scanning, the patient has not left the office and the lab has begun designing the crown! It's more efficient ... no doubt," Dr. Kaye said. "If dental consolidation is correct, a practice will improve efficiency."
Planmeca FIT can be rebuilt from a wide range of materials, according to Dr. Bill Busch of North Kansas City Dental, Inc. Not only is the system efficient, but it also produces high quality products.
Dr. Busch explains: "It takes a lot of steps to produce Crown in the traditional way, and now we can do that with just a few clicks of the mouse. I believe that fewer steps are needed to reduce errors so I think this is a better recovery."
The PlanmecaRomexis® software platform is the brain behind the Planmeca ecosystem and is integrated into every stage to ensure seamless operation of CAD / CAM systems. It helps to put practice to full use of its resources and treat more patients in a shorter period of time.
Instead of having two visits, patients can be treated on the same day without the need for temporary crowns or physical dental models.
Dr. Busch explains: "Our goal is to adapt to the lifestyle of our patients and provide dental supplies services at the speed of their lives." This is where CAD / CAM comes in. "
