Optical Impression Processing
Optical impression processing allows the practitioner to obtain, with the help of an optical camera coupled to a computer, a three-dimensional image. This solution allows each dental surgeon to work more closely with his dental technician.
These optical cameras are easy to handle and minimally invasive. But above all, they offer many advantages, as well as a number of solutions for practitioners using optical cameras, so that their routine can be optimized.
From the office to the laboratory
One of the primary advantages of using optical impressions is time optimization, but also enhanced precision.
An optical impression takes only a few minutes to make. The camera allows immediate verification of the quality of the preparation and the impression. The camera also notes all the details necessary for the manufacture of a dental prosthesis.
Additionally, when you work with a prosthetic laboratory like Laboratoire A.ES, you can transfer all your data instantly and safely. One click is all it takes so that you, like us, can look at the same images and details.
Certainly, this allows for better communication between the dentist and the laboratory. Above all, it allows us to guide you remotely in order to optimize the quality of the image. In the end, this allows us to take care of the aesthetics and the adaptation of the patient’s prosthesis.
Why an optical impression?
Conventional techniques have been proven for a long time, but their limits have also been well defined. These techniques, unlike optical impressions, do not allow for immediate control of the quality and accuracy of the impression.
This evolution in our laboratory has been taking place for many years. It has paved the way for new solutions, new possibilities, and enhanced quality. Another new development is the use of new materials such as zirconia or E-Max ceramics.
In addition, processing times, storage, and transport are risk factors to be taken into account. The optical impression allows an optimization of these factors.
Processing is precise and consistent. We store all digital prosthesis information in our servers, which allows for possible reproducibility over time. Finally, the question of transportation no longer arises. Thanks to new technologies, it is possible to transmit the necessary images and data to us, no matter where you are. Even on the other side of the world, there are no limits.
The optical camera: a valuable asset
Optical impressions are therefore a real time saver, easy to use, and guarantee quality for you as a practitioner– but also for your patients. Thanks to your optical camera, your patient will not feel any physical disturbance and will enjoy explaining to their friends that they’re being treated by a practitioner at the cutting edge of technology.
On your side, you will be able to answer their questions and expectations more easily. You will also be able to send us detailed images that will allow us to provide you with quality dental prostheses.
