50
Q

what do digital technologies improve

A

the workflow from diagnosis, planning to treatment

51
Q

intraoral scanner can greatly increase:

A

productivity, efficiency, and accuracy

52
Q

what are the costs with analogue

A
  • initial: VPS, registration materials ~50$
  • additional: trays, dispensers, and stone, lab cost and shipping
53
Q

what are the costs with digital

A
  • initial cost: scanner ~$20-30K and milling unit $110K- $120K
  • additional cost: electronic lab prescriptions, blocks, burs and maintenance
54
Q

what are the time considerations with analogue

A
  • more chairside time ~41 minutes (teeth) and ~43.12min (implants)
  • tray selection or custom tray
  • mixing time
  • setting time
  • remake
  • opposing arch
  • inter occlusal records
  • disinfection
  • pour the impressions
  • shipping time
  • ditch the dies
  • mount the casts
  • wax up and fabrication
  • restoration
55
Q

what are time considerations with digital

A
  • les chairside time ~13 min (teeth) and ~30.63 minutes (implants)
  • learning curve
  • scan (prep, opposing, and buccal)
  • evaluate the scan
  • rescan
  • lab prescription
  • received (electronically)
  • design
  • cast and prosthesis (printing/milling)
  • restoration
56
Q

describe tissue displacement in both analogue and digital

A
  • tissue displacement is a must for both workflows
  • dry field is a must for both workflows
    -0.5mm of uncut tooth structure apical to the finish line is required
  • same level of accuracy for crowns and FPDs
  • digital impressions showed a clinically accepted results, and shortened the treatment line
  • conventional impressions are still recomenneded for full arch restorations
57
Q

describe the marginal fit of analogue vs digital

A
  • no significant different was observed regarding the marginal gap of single unit ceramic restorations obtained from digital or conventional impression techniques
  • marginal and internal gaps with conventional technique were greater than the digital technique
  • the digital impression technique provided better marginal and internal fit of fixed restorations
58
Q

what is the application of AI
