Digital dentistry represents the merger of mass produc- tion with individual customi- zation, providing a faster and more cost-efficient dental workflow. The adoption of digital dentistry is increas- ingly defining and driving the success of dental businesses. Those dental labs that rise to the challenge will be the com- panies that grow fastest in the years to come. Dental implants have been used successfully for many years to restore miss- ing teeth. They don’t decay and they function just like real teeth. Until recently how- ever, the placement of dental implants involved an invasive and time consuming surgical procedure. They were placed where they would be guessed likely to fit and frequently not enough planning and thought was given to future function- al longevity and cosmetics. Now, with the advancement of digital 3D printing and lab ex- pertise, a dental implant can replace missing teeth with pinpoint accuracy, minimum discomfort, and beautiful cos- metics. Adoption of 3D printing for dental manufacturing is con- stantly growing. Many labo- ratory professionals have dis- covered what clinicians have been slower to recognize: that 3D printing of dental models is faster, more economical, pre- dictable, consistent, and ac- curate. Return on investment can be incredible if a team ap- proach is adhered to. The Challenge Located in the Netherlands, Oratio B.V. was one of the pi- oneers of CAD/CAM design technology for producing den- tal restorations straight from CAD design imagery. With excellent experience in services and positive signs from the market, Oratio found itself in an optimal position for initiating growth. At the same time, the company needed to streamline its business. It re- quired a system that could improve throughput with- out compromising its high standards and without costly expansion of the company’s technician staff and facilities.
