I 45 industry news _ Nobel Biocare I CAD/CAM 1_2014 _Smarter positioning; greater productivity Vital to increasing productivity is the intro- duction of the Smart Motorized Holder, with which objects to be scanned are easily secured using magnets. Moving independently, the holder auto- matically positions each object on the model at the ideal height, tilt and rotation. Efficiency is increased by reducing the need for user interaction while improving the scanning range. Additional new workflow options, such as articulated model scanning, have therefore also beenintroduced.Theresultisoptimalscandatathat enables consistency with less manual operation.

The user is also offered the flexibility to control scanning and to addadditionalscandataatanystageoftheprocess. This means predictably high-quality prostheses for every customer. _A next-generation scanner for the workflow of the future The NobelProcera 2G System will play a crucial role in Nobel Biocare’s new seamlessly integrated treatment workflow, which will be introduced this year.Thisdigitalworkflowbringstogetherthelatest innovations at each stage of the treatment process overthesecureonlineNobelConnectnetworkandis supported by leading diagnostics and treatment planning software NobelClinician. The current standard procedure is for a clinician to take an initial impression, which is sent to a lab- oratory for the creation of a radiographic guide. WiththeNobelProcera2GSystem,theradiographic guide is no longer needed, lowering the cost for the clinician and increasing flexibility. Instead, the laboratory can add further value as a treatment partnerbyprovidingintra-oralmodelsurfaceinfor- mation that assists with the clinician’s diagnostic treatment plan. Thanks to its solid model scanning capability, the 2G Scanner delivers a model scan with intra-oral surface information, such as soft tissue and diagnostic tooth set-up. This can be combined with a patient’s CBCT scan via smart fusion technology in NobelClinician. The result is an accurate diagnostic picture displaying both soft- and hard-tissue information for the clinician without a radiographic guide, saving precious time for both dental professional and patient. With vital diagnostic information directly from thelaboratory,dentaltechniciansareabletodiscuss their restorative considerations with the clinician at an early stage. Such a collaborative approach improves implant diagnostics and therefore the overall treatment outcome, reducing the likelihood of prosthetic challenges. In the next step, based on the post-operative situation, individualised CAD/CAM prostheses are easily designed in the NobelProcera software and then ordered digitally from NobelProcera’s inte- gratedglobalproductionnetwork.Theend-product is a precisely manufactured restoration of out- standing quality that comes with a certificate of authenticity and an extensive warranty. In summary, the NobelProcera 2G System offers an evolutionary scanner that provides next-gen - eration results. It offers laboratories increased pro- ductivity, precision and collaboration with clinicians.
