exhibitors16 CDA Presents — May 2, 2015 Ad By Planmeca Staff n The combination of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and CAD/CAM technology is becom- ing the new standard of care for restorative dentistry. While CBCT images provide multi- faceted details below the gum line, intraoral scans are capable of cap- turing the highest resolution of data above the gum line. This combination of CBCT and STL data from CAD/CAM sources gives doctors the ability to providetherequiredinformationand tissue leveling for a crown down to implant plan. Temporary and final restorative crowns can be milled in- office in a matter of minutes or milled by a lab in as little as 24 hours. Planmeca’s imaging and CAD/ CAM technology have captured this concept with the ProMax 3D family of imaging units and the PlanScan/ PlanMill systems, offering doctors the ability to acquire a data set with more detail than ever. While digital impression systems are realizing a data standardiza- tion solution, the digital X-ray, prac- tice management, CBCT and digital treatment-planning systems found in today’s dental practice require the same sort of attention. To truly maxi- mize the efficiencies and cost sav- ings offered by these technologies, interoperability is imperative among these dental systems. Data standardization, the transfer of the patient’s information, X-rays, CBCT scans, digital impressions and prescription data between the dental office and the dental lab with the simple push of a button are now pos- sible with Planmeca Romexis open- architecture software and Planmeca Romexis Cloud. Ultimately, having a common standard that allows the disparate systems used in dental care to func- tion as plug-and-play devices rather than requiring pricy IT solutions will reduce the costs of integrating these new technologies into dental practices and maximize the ROI of the equipment, the company asserts. Planmeca’s CBCT and CAD/CAM imaging systems, along with open- architecture Planmeca Romexis dig- ital treatment-planning software, are using this idea to improve the efficiency, predictability and cost- effectiveness of restorations, making chairside dentistry a lucrative invest- ment for dentists who wish to grow their practice and offer patients the latest in same-day technology.
