2. • The innovative digital impression technology is growing
expeditiously with advanced features & benefits to the dentists
& patients by creating a replica of soft & hard tissues
generated by computer via use of lasers & other optical
scanning devices.
3. Why digital impressions?
• The intraoral scanner captures exact/precise details of one’s
impression avoiding the use of traditional impression materials that
were quite messy & troublesome (due to gag) for some patients.
Once the scanning is completed the data is transferred to a computer
& used to create restorations.
• Many patients find this technology more convenient as this avoid
their one of the most vexatious experiences of taking dental
impressions in dental offices.
5. • Incorporation of digital impressions technology into dental practice
remarkably increases accuracy & efficiency, & makes it feasible to
mail the virtual impression to the lab, rather than sending a stone
model.
• Also via use of such technology, same day restorations can be
delivered to the patients, henceforth speeding up the treatment &
minimizing the need for multiple visits to the dental office.
6. Other benefits include:
• Reduced chair time
• Precise image quality for accurate fitting of restorations.
• Highly comfortable for patients as the ergonomic design allow easy
& comfortable placement in the patient’s mouth.
• Reduced likelihood of impression taking errors.
• Increased patient education & awareness as they can see the minute
details on the screen & can understand quite well.
• The patient’s record can be efficiently stored electronically avoiding
confusions.
7. Procedure
• The procedure involves capturing digital impression via use of
intraoral wand. The wand is inserted into patient’s mouth & moved
over the teeth & soft tissues. The captured digital impressions will
be displayed on the screen.
• It takes few minutes to capture a digital impression of prepared
tooth/teeth & approx few seconds to record the opposing arch.
During the review of the image, one can enlarge & manipulate the
possible errors & can correct onscreen before sending it to the
laboratory.
8. What makes digital impressions different from the
traditional impressions?
• The conventional or traditional impression making procedure
involves use of numerous materials & at times more steps or visits.
Also, this procedure has increased chances of errors like air bubbles,
voids, inaccurate mixing, distortions etc.
• Whereas, digital impressions eliminate much of the physical work,
chances of errors & conjecture associated with the traditional
impressions. Concurrently they reduce chair side time during the
impression as well as during the delivery of the restorations.
9. • In many instances the fabrication of restorations can be speedy due
to elimination of working time, setting time required with materials
like dental stone.
• With traditional impressions it’s quite difficult to evaluate errors.
And, in case errors are identified, patient again will have to undergo
the same procedure again, leading to discomfort & inconvenience.
10. • Also, the use of digital scans allows a clinician to magnify the
impression & evaluate carefully. In case one identifies errors, they
can be corrected immediately before submitting the impression.
Once scanning is completed, one gets to see the virtually articulated
model on the screen.
• The system also indicates insufficient tooth reduction (if present).
This enables clinicians to modify the preparation immediately to
ensure the precise fit of the final restoration.
11. At Dr. Sachdeva’s Dental Institute, we understand how messy &
uncomfortable it can be to be stuffed with gooey stuff in someone’s
mouth. However, to benefit our patients with the new dental
impressions technology & avoid such discomfort, we have
incorporated this innovative technology in our practice. With the
help of 3shape Trios, we capture digital impressions that assure an
accurate fitting of the final restoration.
