Traditional impression taking 

The fine detail capture required for a quality impression can be compromised if proper tissue management is not achieved prior to impression taking. Retaking an impression can lead to inefficient procedures and extra chair time for the patient.

  • Tissue management is the biggest disruptor to the workflow1
  • 2/3rd of dentists retake an impression at least once/month1
  • Dentists report on average half of their crown preparations are all or partly in a subgingival position1 

Our Workflow solutions aid in minimizing inefficiencies and improving the quality and detail captured in each impression.
