For us as a dental laboratory the intraoral scan also offers great benefits in terms of hygiene as there is no residual risk which is one of the reasons why I prefer it to the analogue procedure. We no longer receive a conventional impression as before but only digital data. Since the production of the dental prosthesis is carried out on printed models or in digital production by CADCAM this is the maximum hygiene level that we as a dental laboratory can provide for the patient and also the dental practice explains Ulrich Thielen master dental technician from Zahntechnik Dsseldorf Germany.For Mike Skramstad a dentist from Orono Minnesota USA digital impression taking in combination with CEREC offers a major advantage especially during the pandemic In the new environment of COVID-19 digital impressions and single-visit dentistry are more important than ever.
