More speed. More flexibility. More profitability.

Growing demand. Increasing workloads.

There has never been a better time to go digital.

The number of dental labs in the market is shrinking at a time when an aging population is increasing the demand. With fewer labs, fewer highly experienced technicians and more work to do, an effi cient and accurate workfl ow is essential to profi tability.

The Dentsply Sirona Digital Denture Workfl ow Solution addresses the downsides of traditional denture fabrication by delivering a more effi cient process with resource optimization that leads to greater profi tability.

CUSTOM TRAY

45% of patients reported poor fit, pain, or size problems with their dentures.4

The traditional denture process starts with two clinical steps – requiring patient, clinician, and laboratory time.

The digital workflow can combine these two steps into one-convenient chairside appointment.

OCCLUSAL RIM/RECORDS

Occlusal rims and patient records are required in the traditional and digital worlds.

Digital scanning of impressions and occlusal rims provide accurate duplication of anatomy without multi-step stone and denture investment techniques.

SET-UP

Labs report difficulty in finding skilled technicians that understand the artform of setting teeth.

Existing digital designers can build on crown and bridge experience, and can more easily cross-train to digital removables.

This allows labs to utilize technicians with varying skill sets to fabricate dentures.

Traditional dentures are effective, but the industry needs and expectations are changing.

"Producing a denture that fits great has always been a challenge due to many

variables in the lab and clinical process. I have been waiting for a digital denture

workflow that delivers a denture exceeding patient expectations."

Ethan Davis Chen Dental

WAX TRY-IN

A traditional Try-In confirms aesthetic design and function, but provides no other utility.

A digital Try-In greatly reduces labor and permits the rapid fabrication of a diagnostic appliance. Clinicians can place, review and adapt the Try-In for patient function.

Labs and clinicians desire higher profitability for dentures.

Patients dislike the five-appointment denture process and the multiple post insertion adjustments to get

a desirable fit.5

PROCESS + FINISH

Traditional denture investment techniques take time and knowledge of occlusion.

Digital designers use proven software tools or services to create a computerized occlusion, and the assembly is done by multi-skilled lab technicians using simple workflow techniques.

Going digital provides resource optimization with less steps.

IMPRESSION

Triad® Custom Tray

Light-curing system designed for the

easy fabrication of custom trays. Triad

puts you in complete control from

design to delivery providing accuracy

and stability.

From the impression, the lab has the option of creating a custom tray from traditional materials such as Triad, or use resins to print a tray.

Lab scans the impression to capture a digital record, eliminating the need for a model. Final impressions and records (occlusal rim) are scanned by the technician and imported to a design engine/service.

Try-In is milled or printed in your lab, saving time and labor while providing an emergency appliance.

Try-In

Created for diagnostic use to verify

occlusal function, aesthetic and

phonetic needs.
