As digital dental technologies have become established in dental laboratories, the processes using these technologies have become more efficient: Scanners, materials and milling machines work together like clockwork in the digitally enhanced fabrication of restorations – reducing the potential for errors in daily lab operations and boosting the quality and throughput of the laboratory. Encased with an innovative new ring, the IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime and IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime Esthetic discs now offer additional advantages for everyday lab handling.
Efficiency through digitalization
Automating operations and integrating digital apps into everyday routines are essential factors for increasing efficiency and reducing costs.
Why? Because the goal is to produce high-quality dental restorations in a steady flow of production, while minimizing the use of time, materials and human resources. Reducing the need for manual steps allows staff members to be assigned to other tasks that demand specialized skills or involve direct interaction with other people.
Digital solutions help simplify and optimize existing workflows. Machining templates and integrated changers enable dental mills such as the PrograMill PM7 to perform milling jobs almost entirely autonomously, with minimal human intervention. An increasing number of tasks in dental laboratories are being transformed into digital processes.
The resulting improvement in efficiency leads to quicker completion of restorations and the ability to manage a greater number of jobs. Using equipment more efficiently and at higher frequency can lead to a quicker return on investment. This, along with other factors, contributes to increasing revenue over time.
It is not just about improving efficiency; it is also about enhancing flexibility in everyday operations. Apps such as Ivoclar Monitoring help boost flexibility even more. With it, the current job and machine status of specific Ivoclar devices can be checked in real time from anywhere, at any time.
In a nutshell: efficient and cost-effective
Transitioning to digital technologies can increase the efficiency and cost effectiveness of dental laboratories. Selecting the appropriate material that seamlessly integrates into existing workflows and offers unique features and material properties is essential in this context. IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime and IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime Esthetic are zirconium oxide materials that embody Ivoclar’s expertise and experience. Through close collaboration with dental professionals, helpful and innovative features have been developed, specifically aimed at enhancing workflow efficiency and performance.
