Iverson Dental Labs has recently reported how they are able
to provide innovative dental lab products and services with the growing
popularity of CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing)
technology in the dental industry. The expansion of CAD/CAM digital
technologies in the past 10 years has greatly improved the techniques used
to fabricate dental lab products, especially surgical guided implants and dental
impressions.
Continued improvements to CAD/CAM technologies has challenged
and enhanced the techniques used to fabricate dental lab
products, particularly implant-supported prosthesis and the use of
surgical guides. With 3-Dimensional intra-oral scanning capabilities, the
dentist and dental lab are able to easily view the upper and lower jawbone to
plan for optimal implant placement. Implant-supported dental restorations are
gaining huge popularity among dental patients who have one or more missing
teeth because of the longevity and biocompatible nature associated with dental implant
treatment.
In a 2014 research study conducted by Dr. Kapos, DDS and Dr.
Evans, BDSc Hons (QLD) at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, researchers
wanted to measure the failure and survival rates of CAD/CAM implant-supported restorations
and abutments compared to conventionally fabricate dental implant prostheses.
Although they found the survival rate from conventionally fabricated implants
was comparable to CAD/CAM implant-supported prosthesis, they found color
matching and durability was significantly better for all-ceramic
dental
crowns. The researchers found dental Implants aided by CAD/CAM
technology to be highly reliable. They estimated the mean failure and survival
rate of implants supporting CAD/CAM crowns was 98.85%. The failure and survival
rate of implants supporting CAD/CAM abutments was an astonishing 99.85% with no
reported technical complications.
Utilizing CAD/CAM technology to digitally plan and create surgical
guides has made the procedure of implanting restorations more accurate and dependable
then previous methods. Iverson Dental Labs utilizes CAD/CAM technology to virtually
plan and design their surgical guides so the dentist can use them as a aid in
surgery to correctly drill and position the implants. Iverson Dental Labs
developed an innovative surgical guide, AccuGuideรข,
to better address the need of highly accurate implant positioning to maximize
the use of available bone. Iverson’s dental
implant department assists their dentists with implant treatment and
planning to provide the best experience for their dentists and ultimately to
their patients.
By not owning a digital intra-oral system does not exclude
dentists from taking advantage of the cutting edge CAD/CAM technology because
Iverson Dental Labs has made a Model
Free dental crown/bridge option available for dentists. Iverson’s dentists
deliver a physical impression to Iverson’s Lab and the lab scans the impression
digitally, then designing the model on the computer for acute precision and
cost efficiency. By utilizing CAD/CAM digital design software, Iverson’s
certified dental technicians are able to save time by skipping tedious steps
such as fabricating prosthetics and stone models by hand. With Stratasys
3-Dimensional printers, Iverson Dental Labs are able to save time and labor
costs by printing dental lab products such as surgical guides, models,
removable partial frameworks, diagnostic wax-ups and more.
One of Iverson’s long-time clients, Ronald G. White DDS,
sheds some light about the company stating, “Iverson
Dental Laboratories has been meeting my laboratory needs for more than 14
years. Their quality and service has always been excellent. I would recommend
them to anyone looking for a cutting edge full service dental laboratory.”
