5. WE USE CADCAM AND DMLS
-
CAD/CAM (computer-aided-design and computer-aided-manufacturing) to improve the design and creation of Dental restorations,
-
CAD/CAM systems use an optical camera to take a virtual impression by creating a 3D image which is imported into a software program and results in a computer-generated cast on which the restoration is designed
-
BEST ACCURACY == FINE MARGINS==NO GAP ==NO LEAKAGE
6. DMLS
-
Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) is one of the few 3D printing technologies that directly create a metal part from its 3D computer model. This process is an advancement of powder metallurgy (PM), a mature metal-molding technology that uses heat and pressure to form powdered metal parts.
-
Smaller metal particle size and less variation allow better resolution.
-
BETTER MARGINS OF CROWN WITH MINIMAL LEAKAGE
