Digitized Dental
The medical dental industry is now involved in groundbreaking technologies to make improvements in understanding the human mouth. Through digitizing, dentists are able to enhance the final forms of prothestic teeth while improving effciency.
Surface digitization devices can be used in two ways, a laser scanner
and two touch-probe scanners. The point-clouds resulting from the digitizations of the master dies of prepared teeth yield virtual
CAD-Reference-Models of each tooth's shape. The best-fit alignment of the virtual point-clouds is taken from the
3D digitizations of the replicas to the corresponding CRM.
High quality data can be achieved directly from the digitized impressions with an
optical measuring system. The results are the same size as when digitizing stone replicas. Hence, digitization of the impression is a successful means of improving efficiency without affecting the quality of the final restoration.
The final result of prosthetic dental work is affected by multiple factors, such as preparation of the tooth, the impression and production of a dental cast, fabrication of the restoration, chairside adjustment of the restoration, and finally, when the restoration is complete, the material and method used for cementation. By the use of CAD/CAM systems, the automation of the manufacturing process in the dental industry has made strides with the way they handle our mouths.
