Imagine executing the same operations in much less time and offering your patients a truly customized dental product. See how digital dental products developed using computer-aided design have redefined customization.
With computer-aided design and manufacturing processes, or CAD/CAM, software is used to create a 3D model of a dental product. The digital process offers a wide range of advantages over traditional methods.
| Digital dental product | Traditional method | |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Can take precise measurements and make complex calculations | Impossible to get such precise results, as several steps are carried out by hand |
| Efficiency | Simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces production time | The production time is longer, as several steps are executed by hand |
| Customization | Knows no limits, as it works for both simple and complex cases and offers 3D visualization before production | Several limitations, particularly with implants, and there’s no preproduction 3D visualization |
| Patient satisfaction | Unique parameters can be used to make a very comfortable, custom-made dental product | Less customizable and the dental products are generally less durable |
Our custom-made digital prostheses suit a wide range of treatment plans.
These comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, durable prostheses provide functions similar to those of natural teeth. By modelling the crown or bridge in a 3D environment, the technologist can:
The digitization of the process ensures better control of thickness for optimal comfort and increased resistance to breakage. Printed with biocompatible materials and digital resins, the digital nightguard complies with regulations and international standards for medical devices.
CAD/CAM provides impressive fitting accuracy that reduces bulkiness and offers remarkable speaking and occlusal comfort. Thanks to high-quality printers, complex geometries that are normally impossible to manufacture can be reproduced.
The digital removable denture is modelled with high-performance computer-aided design, so the technologist can:
This product with perfect morphology is milled from a Prettau zirconia block, and the internal and external colours are hand-applied by brush. The digitization of the process means the technologist can:
With TrakDesign, you can consult the three-dimensional modelling of a digital prosthesis. “The user can move the 3D dental model on a 360-degree vertical and horizontal axis and add study models to compare certain elements,” explains Charles Desjardins, General Director and Technical Expert at Lafond Desjardins and member of the team that developed the platform.
In addition to viewing a 3D model with TrakDesign, you can:
Computer-aided design and manufacturing is transforming dental care. Compared to traditional methods, CAD/CAM is quicker and more precise. It has redefined custom-made and elevated it to a higher level. Discover these digital dental products that are adaptable to a wide range of treatment plans and are changing the way things are done.
