Digital is the future. Historically, to make a crown for a patient, dentists have taken an impression, fitted a temp, sent the impression to the lab, the lab mills the crown and sends it back to the dentist to fit.

Planmeca’s fully integrated CAD CAM and milling system shows integration at its best. It enables the dentist or nurse to take a digital scan of the patients mouth using the Planmeca PlanScan (no need for uncomfortable impressions), which is then transferred to the PlanCAD Easy system which allows the dentist to design the crown within the software. This information is used by the PlanMill 40 milling machine which mills the crown from a block within 12 minutes. A treatment that would have typically taken two appointments can now be done within one visit to the practice and complete within 20-30 minutes.
