ScanBody and Digital Lab Analog
By: Hiossen Implant Canada INC
The Journal of Multidisciplinary Care Decisions in Dentistry in 2017, showed that when digital dental technology was entering into the common practice, just a small group (16% of dental professionals) had the foresight and knowledge needed to implement the technology before it was efficient, intuitive and mainstream. In other words, they set the stage for later adopters. Based on the same article, in 2017, digital dentistry was used by approximately 34% of clinicians. Nowadays, the community of users has been growing at a fast rate and the foresight and knowledge are within everyone’s reach
After discussing with our doctors about how Digital Implant Dentistry involves multiple companies, equipment, treatment planning methods, surgical guides, Intra Oral scanning tech, and CADCAM, Hiossen understood that Digital Implant Dentistry can be an overwhelming experience. However, many practitioners are aware of the importance to start being part of this technology along with an expectation of a smooth workflow that improves, even more, their practice and gives the patient the highest chance of success.
The Scan Body and Digital Lab Analog are part of the final restoration process. We invite you to look at these two products, either if you are getting used to this technology or if you don’t know where to start.
