Digital Temporaries

Create a cost-effective temporary without a model

3Shape has created a whole new workflow approach that enables labs to virtually prepare teeth and design temporaries directly from intraoral scans or scans of conventional impressions, completely omitting the need for a physical model.

Labs can now provide dentists with cost-effective temporaries and thereby secure the following order of the final crown.

Get a digital impression of the unprepared situation
The workflow starts with a 3D scan of the dental situation - ideally from an intraoral scan or conventional impression scan for maximum productivity, but gypsum model scanning is naturally also an option.

Virtual Preparation & Virtual Gingiva within seconds
With the 3D scan loaded in Dental System ^TM, technicians can apply automatic tooth segmentation, followed by Virtual Preparation that includes both tooth and subgingival preparations.

Digitally design temporaries of supreme quality
After virtual preparation & gingiva, technicians can easily and rapidly design a perfectly functional and esthetic temporary. For the temporary anatomy, users can apply the scan data of the original patient anatomy or select from tooth libraries. The design process is backed by Smile Composer^TM and sculpt toolkit for efficient design and repair of damaged anatomy.
