24 I I industry report _ use of CBCT and CAD/CAM Oven on e.max glazing setting. After a final try-in, the crown was cemented in place using Variolink translucent base and catalyst. We cleaned off the excess cement, verified the final occlusal scheme, and captured a final periapical image verifying cement removal (Fig. 8). Post-operative instructions were given. The patient and parents were advised to call immedi- ately if there was sensitivity, swelling, questions or concerns. I spoke with the parents and checked on the patient one day and one week post- operatively. She was proud of her new tooth and said it felt “awesome” (Fig. 9). _Testimonial Carestream Dental products helped me gather valuable clinical information, diagnose, monitor treatment status, and provide better care for this patient. The digital radiographs initially captured bytheCS81003Dtoevaluatethetoothwereclear and beneficial to determine fracture and position of nerve tissue. This clarity allowed us to see the bone pattern and periodontal ligament space surrounding the damaged tooth. In addition, the 3-D scan, taken at a 5 cm x 5 cm field of view and 300voxels,allowedustoruleoutbuccalorpalatal plate fractures before finalising the treatment plan. The various voxel settings let us select the best exposure time to image the structures we desire to view. This would not have been possible in the past with a panorex or digital 2-D radio - graph system. The fact that we were able to provide the pa- tient and her parents with a 3-D CBCT of tooth 21 gavethemtheopportunitytoseeandunderstand what was going on under the surface; ultimately resulting in positive acceptance of the treatment plan. I find that the CS 8100 3D unit gives me an incredible level of detail with actual size images that I can view from any angle or cross-section to getthebestpossiblediagnosticimage.CSSolutions (CS 3500 intraoral scanner, CS Restore software and CS 3000 milling unit) allows my office the opportunity to fabricate same-day permanent restorations. My patients appreciate the fact that our office is staying up to date with new available technology and giving them a safer environment with less radiation._ _References 1.
