Modeless Restorations: An Advantage of Digital Scanning

Learning Objectives  

Upon hearing this podcast, the listener should:

• Understand the benefit of digital impressions to a modeless restorative approach
• Have an overview of the digital workflow

Digital scanners record highly accurate details of the patient's intraoral environment and enable dentists to eliminate numerous steps of the traditional restorative workflow--including impression materials, trays, and even stone models. Because these highly accurate data can be transferred among members of the restorative team via STL files, digital impressions allow clinicians to use a 100% digital workflow and eliminate models from their approach.Listen as Dr. Perry Jones goes into details about the time saving and financial benefits of modeless restoration.
