Digital Impressioning: Highly Recommended and
CAD/CAM: Good Idea based on Scope
Perhaps the most revolutionary change in dentistry
in recent years is the development of digital
impressioning techniques which use scanners.
Until recently a tooth or mouth impression required
having a tray of goopy alginate or unpleasanttasting
vinyl polysiloxane inserted in the patient's
mouth and held there until the material set. If
there's an error or part of the impression isn't
sufficiently detailed, the whole process is repeated.
The impression is then decontaminated, poured
into stone, and/or shipped to a lab where a crown,
denture, or other prosthetic tooth replacement is
constructed. Impression material is expensive, the
use is time-consuming, the patient experience is
not particularly pleasant, and patients frequently
must return for multiple appointments. Today, those
same impressions can be taken more accurately,
quickly, pleasantly and with improved clinical results
by using digital scanners.
The head of the scanner is an
approximately tooth brush-sized wand
which is covered by an infection
control barrier sleeve. There are
essentially two types of scanners.
One type uses blue LED (lightemitting
diode). These systems are
optical scanners and they require a
contrasting medium or powder to
acquire a representation of the tooth
morphology. This means that a fine
powder is sprayed over the mouth area
to be scanned to assure accurate imaging.
There are also systems that
use laser technology to scan
and measure distances from
the tooth surface to acquire
the image. These systems do
not require powder.
The scanned image becomes
part of a digital record
which can be either sent

electronically to a lab along with instructions, or
used to mill a restoration in-house and even same
day. Digital scanners eliminate gingival retraction
of the tooth to be restored, tray selection, material
dispensing, disinfection, disposal of biohazard,
disinfection of the impression tools, pouring
models, model trimming, hand writing the lab
script, packaging the impression for shipping to the
lab, distortion, and retakes.
Some scanners are well-suited to the accuracy
needed for crown and bridge restorations; but
there is at least one scanner, 3Shape, which can
accurately scan full arches for partial and full
dentures.
