I industry news _ Planmeca _CBCT imaging is becoming the new standard of care for complete patient information. These images provide multi-faceted views of teeth and everything below the gum line, including the mandibularnervecanal,makingthemaninvaluable tool for planning implant cases and other restora- tive treatments. Now, consider combining this detailed infor- mation below the gum line with images from an intraoral scan, capable of capturing the highest resolution of data above the gum line. This combi- nationofCBCTandSTLdatafromCAD/CAMsources gives doctors the ability to provide the required informationandtissuelevelingforacrowndownto an implant plan. In most cases, the STL data can also be utilized by the lab to create the final surgical guide for placing the implant with unparalleled accuracy and speed.

Planmeca’s imaging and CAD/CAM technology have captured this concept withtheProMax3-Dfamilyofimagingunitsandthe PlanScan/PlanMillsystems,offeringdoctorstheabil- ity to acquire a data set with more detail than ever. _Streamlining the digital workflow Digital dentistry is streamlining virtually every aspect of the restorative workflow.
