An accurate impression and model are absolutely essential to a successful outcome in restorative dentistry. |
|
|
|
Nobody will even try to argue that fact! So, for your own benefit; answer ONE question. . . |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
What percentage of YOUR total C&B problems involve crowns that fit the models but are 'off' in the mouth? |

GOOD NEWS! Now there's a viable solution for a lot of your problems. |

Almost all lab-work problems involve one or more of the following 4 issues related to impressions and models: |
|
|
|
1. |
The dentist may not see washed areas, tears, or voids in the impression . . . which the lab will be required to deal with, and may result in an additional appointment for a new impression, or a remake if the lab doesn't 'adjust' the die properly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. |
Lack of required reduction for the desired restoration . . . which results in excessive chair-time, or switching to a "second choice" for the restoration, or an added expense for a trim coping, or even a complete remake. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. |
Even after you do the best prep you've ever done . . . the patient may bite so hard they bend the tray, or they're reconsidering and adjusting their bite as the impression materials are setting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. |
The bite / articulation set wrong and the restoration is produced to fit the wrong bite . . . which results in excessive chair-time, or compromised esthetics or strength or even a remake if there's too much adjusting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The real impact of these problems is eroded profits, however, most dentists don't give that too much thought because they didn't have to stop and write a check for the added costs at that moment. |
|
|
|
These problems can cost you large amounts of money each year - but the total would be very difficult to calculable. Worst of all, the problems often frustrate the patients and can cause them to have some doubts about your abilities - even if you give them a plausible explanation. |
|
|
|
iTero™ solves all 4 problems automatically - EVERY TIME - ON EVER CASE. |
HOW? |
|
|
|
|
|
1. |
iTero™ achieves a digitally perfect scan 100% of the time. So, you have NO washed area/s, or voids, or tears, and it immediately and accurately shows you any areas that will require blocking out (and the lab sees the same thing if you can't adjust the prep). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. |
At the completion of the scan, iTero™ indicates if there's adequate reduction for the restoration that you want. That eliminates those annoying calls from the lab telling you that there isn't enough room for the restoration you want. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. |
The iTero™ system doesn't require the patient to participate, so there's no opportunity for the patient to misinterpret your instructions and cause undetectable flaws in the impression. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. |
iTero™ models are articulated based on the scan, so the lab is not 'hand-setting' the bite based on subjective indications. That means you don't have to deal with 'high occlusion' or other problems resulting from 'hand-set' bites. |
|

We saved the best news for last: |
|
 |
| |
Unlike some CAD-CAM systems that only allow your restorations to be milled from a monochromatic block of material that's only offered in a very limited selection of shades, the iTero™ digital impression system allows us to complete your restorations in all of the material options that you have now. |
|
|
We can fabricate all of your conventional C&B cases as full contour or with real porcelain. You can still prescribe crowns (single units to full arches), inlays & onlays, and veneers utilizing all of the materials you currently have as options: PFMs / PFGs, Full-Cast Gold, Titanium, Empress, e.max, Zirpress, and Zirconia. |
