Carestream Dental’s 3D imaging software, including prosthetic-driven implant planning, is user friendly and intuitive, and is ideal for assessing treatment feasibility. It includes all of the tools necessary for the successful implementation of a treatment plan, such as the one cited in this clinical case study. The ability to place virtual teeth in order to validate the prosthetic plan and implant axis is very compelling; it prevents the need to go through multiple cumbersome steps inherent in the traditional approach to implants, including conventional paste impressions, shipping time, lab work, etc.

“Prosthetic-driven implant planning helps us achieve predictability in implant placement,” said Dr. Marks.” “With images from the CS 8100 3D and the CS 3600, we know the exact size of the implant and the angulation well before we begin the surgery. We can envision potential complications and prepare accordingly. We say, ‘If A, B or C happens, we’ve got X, Y or Z to address it'.”

With CBCT imaging and 3D implant planning software, we were able to effortlessly plan and validate this case. By combining implant planning with guided surgery, we achieved a successful prosthetic outcome. Digital impression complements the digital workflow with the capability to immediately place the temporary restoration—thanks to CAD/CAM design and milling.

Before CS Solutions for Implants, Dr. Boutin would typically spend 90 minutes with patients before they were able to make a surgical appointment. Now a patient can move to the surgical step right after the first visit, saving an average of one hour per patient. “This is huge when you factor in that we see 80 new patients per month,” said Dr. Boutin.

Dr. Harris was convinced that digital models were the best way to combat the storage issue, but he was also largely attracted to them because of their accuracy—and the benefits that come with that accuracy. He envisioned a solution that would integrate smoothly with his workflow while also improving it.

Carestream Dental is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Protected Trust to offer its software solutions users discounted rates for sending encrypted emails. Protected Trust provides a secure email tool that seamlessly integrates into Carestream Dental practice management software.

When it comes to archeology, finding intact skeletal remains is rare, particularly at sites where battles or other attacks took place. Tiny bone fragments are much more common and must be carefully transferred off-site to be scanned by a micro CT scanner in a lab, and then reconstructed in 3D on a computer. That all may change thanks to the CS 3600 intraoral scanner.

Doctors are always looking for a boost, whether it’s a boost to their practice performance, patient satisfaction or their efficiency. Now, with CS Boost, doctors have in- and out-of-office web and mobile access to their clinical information, to give them the boost that so many practices need to succeed.

Tis the season when thoughts turn towards giving back and making a difference in the lives of others. With that in mind, Carestream Dental, along with the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) Foundation, is pleased to give one very deserving professor of periodontology, Guo-Hao (Alex) Lin, D.D.S., the gift of scholarship with the Dr. D. Walter Cohen Teaching Award.
