Glidewell Dental Lab's Inclusive(R) Posterior Scanning Abutments Now Available for Clinical Use
Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) February 14, 2012
With its comprehensive support for digital impression technology, Glidewell Laboratories provides dentists with a convenient, affordable and effective restorative process for implant cases that saves time, money and the mess associated with conventional transfer techniques. Bulky trays and sticky impression materials are no longer required. Instead, an Inclusive Scanning Abutment is attached to the implant. An intraoral scanner (e.g., Align Technology’s iTero#, Sirona’s CEREC#, 3M ESPE’s Lava# C.O.S., IOS Technologies’ IOS FastScan# or D4D Technologies’ E4D Dentist#) is used to capture the position of the scanning abutment, followed by buccal, lingual, occlusal and patient bite scans with the scanning abutment removed.
Once the patient is scanned, the digital impression can be submitted electronically to Glidewell Laboratories, eliminating the time and cost associated with physical shipping. Experienced technicians use the digital impression and the latest CAD/CAM technology to design custom abutments, provisionals or final restorations with optimal form, fit and function. The custom implant restorations are then machined to precise specifications using state-of-the-art milling equipment and returned to the dentist for the trial fitting and final seating.
Backed by more than 40 years of experience and a strong commitment to excellence, Glidewell Laboratories has the product portfolio, infrastructure and competency to provide the full spectrum of affordable custom implant solutions to dentists. Our dedicated, full-service dental implant department of specially trained technicians has decades of experience in restoring even the most challenging implant cases from start to finish. Advanced CAD/CAM processing capabilities ensure precise, esthetic restorations that require fewer adjustments and remakes, reducing chairtime and leading to greater overall patient satisfaction. Now, with Inclusive Scanning Abutments for clinical use, dentists who have made an investment in digital dentistry can enjoy the convenience of using their preferred intraoral impression system to take digital impressions for digital custom implant solutions that exhibit the unsurpassed level of precision they have come to expect from Glidewell Laboratories.
